Before I was an attorney, I spent approximately 10 years in the restaurant industry.  I also started and ran a painting contracting company during college.  Even in those non-legal positions, I found myself advocating for others who did not have much of a voice.  Often these were low-level employees whose employers took advantage of them because they were young, female, immigrants, or did not speak fluent English.. Since graduating from law school in 1998, I have worked on a wide variety of cases, and for an even wider variety of people and businesses.  Since starting my own firm in 2000, I have represented only small businesses and individuals--typically against wealthy individuals and powerful corporations.  Although these defendants generally can afford the most expensive law firms, I have found that I can obtain justice for my clients through persistent and creative litigation.. Thank you for reviewing my profile.  If you would like to speak about a potential legal matter, please feel free to call me or send me an email.. - Anthony
