“Fighting against injustice and unfair business practices has been the main focus of my life for nearly forty years.. The best moments in my career have been when I could stand alongside a hard-working person or their family and fight like hell to get them their due, whether I was working with coal miners defending their livelihoods, or representing a nuclear worker who got fired for raising safety concerns, or representing a CFO or an accountant who stuck his neck out to stop fraud on taxpayers or investors. Representing deserving individuals against wealthy corporations is what energizes me more than anything else, and I get to do it every day. That’s why I love my job.”. --------------.
