That’s easy, my mother. She said she’d like to have a lawyer in the family, so here I am.
I grew up around machinery to do chores and other jobs. Being familiar with complex machines provides me with a better understanding of the nuances involved with product liability cases. I acquired a lot of practical knowledge (from my upbringing) that applies directly to the area of law that I practice, rather than just the theories that they teach you in law school.
I am blessed to be where I am today because of hard work and a lot of good fortune.
My dogs love me. My wife and daughter tolerate me. Winning!
A client suffered from throat cancer due to the repeated failure of her physician to properly diagnose it. While reading her medical records, I realized I had the same symptoms, which led me to seek the proper treatment that I needed. She is the reason I beat cancer!
I always wanted to be an architect. But my 5th grade teacher said I wasn’t smart enough to be an architect, so here I am. I suppose she may have been right.
Learn to write effectively. Take up reading as a form of relaxation/entertainment. Good readers make good writers.
Being good at “arguing” does NOT translate into being an effective trial lawyer. If you’re arguing, you’re losing.
I enjoy a lot of outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking, and fishing.
