Many people ask me "when did you decide to become a lawyer".  It goes back to when I was a teenager and my sister died because of the neglegence of doctors during "routine" wisdom teeth extraction.  My sister, Marcae, suffered a violent reaction to  general anesthesia and after several wrong decisions by her doctors, she passed at the age of 20.  My parents were thoughtful people and sought help and education so that my brother and myself would be protected from similar fates during our lives.  They received some wonderful help from many, and not so much from others.  There were lawyers involved who completely botched their duties as advocates and counselors.  After a poorly handled malpractice case was dismissed, my parents were confronted with having to fight the battle of legal malpractice.  My father was an extemely intelligent man who was a giant in his field of expertise, but he felt helpless in dealing with this most difficult life circumstance.  I knew from watching him deal with these events that I did not want to experience such roadblocks in my life and, in fact, I wanted to help people manuever through the minefields that confront them in life. My entire career in the practice of law has been to help people during the most difficult moments in their lives. I will continue to fight these fights.
