After many years of diverse practice experiences, I've settled into doing what I enjoy most: helping injured people and their families.  We can't return lost time, we can't mend bones, and we can't bring loved ones back; however, we can give people a fair opportunity to obtain justice in the civil court system.  Helping people understand and navigate the civil justice system is what motivates me.  And, at the end of the case, the best part is when my clients or their families tell us, "thank you."  I hope someday that I can be a good example for my two children, so that they work to help those in need in their communities, too.
