Liz considers herself a public interest, social justice, or people's lawyer.  Her guiding principle is Gandhi's "Be the change you wish to see in the world."  This goal is what sent Liz abroad for years, led her to attend law school, and brought her into a career in immigration law.  It also is the foundation for how she relates with clients, colleagues, and the greater world.  Liz is active in the immigration attorney community, her local neighborhood, her children's schools, and in the broader political realm.  Liz believes that we all can strive to fight the overwhelming injustices of the world from the simplest actions and interactions to the more complex and coordinated efforts to combat systemic inequality..
