About My Law PracticeAfter graduating law school, I went to work for a boutique employment law firm and learned the employment law business from the ground up. In year 2000, I started my own law practice and have continued to concentrate my practice on the employment relationship to this day.. Why I became a Lawyer. My interest in being a lawyer was sparked early in my life as a result of a childhood illness that left me with a permanant  disability. As I came of age, I learned the power of the law to level the playing field as I could see how it helped me to overcome barriers not otherwise possible because of my disability. This is one the main reasons I decided to become a lawyer.
