Prior to becoming a lawyer I worked for Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield in health insurance. My formal education was in microbiology and economics. I worked in strategic planning and market analysis. Before going to law school, the health care industry came under fire for out of control inflation, and various other reasons. There was also a lot of public attention on the delivery of health care. I thought a law degree would enhance my ability to progress in this field. After law school, I had little interest in working in the health care industry and found a love for the court room and working with and helping people with their legal issues. I myself went through a destructive divorce and can empathize with my Clients. As a result of the divorce I am very meticulous in how I counsel my clients to avoid costly divorces. I understand the consequences of fighting from many different perspectives. I do not only discuss the legalities with my clients, I discuss the consequence of choice constantly. My divorce taught me to be more empathetic to my clients. I also believe the older you get, the better you are able to represent your clients. Experience in the courtroom, understanding what makes a difference in the outcome, knowing your judges, all grow with experience. You will find that I am very candid in my advice as well as I fight for the rights of my Clients.
