I knew at an early age that I wanted to help people, but I did not quite know how I could do that. I wasn’t particularly good at building things, and I didn’t feel like I’d make a very good police officer or firefighter. During my teenage years, a friend was wrongfully accused of something. The details don’t matter, but it triggered something in me. I wanted to fight for my friend. I needed to stand up for him and fight this injustice. I argued, advocated, and changed the minds of his accusers. It helped my friend and the experience helped me understand what brings me my deep gladness. Fighting to get justice for others.. And the world has a deep need for justice. Throughout my legal career, I’ve represented families and individuals who have been hurt by other people, healthcare organizations or corporations. And as the child of immigrants who fled Cuba for a country that valued justice and equality for all, I have a strong appreciation for our system of justice and the Constitutional right to a trial by jury. Fighting for my clients’ rights is something I care deeply about, and it is my honor to represent those who feel that they are powerless against insurance companies, healthcare providers and big corporations..
