I have a pretty idealistic view of the law. It’s cliché, but it’s a rewarding way to help people while also making my community a better, safer place. There’s a saying, “negligence is an extreme thing,” and it is, because negligence involves a choice, a choice to act unreasonably. When other people’s choices affect my client’s well-being there’s something special about being able to be there for my clients and to offer them a path forward.
