Like I said, when I got my LSAT scores, they weren’t the best. I got into law school, said, hey, you know what? This might not be the place for you, your first year, first semester. I had to turn things around, and I had to look at myself in the mirror and say, do you want this? Go get it and live for that, and that’s what I do. Early on, I interned in the district attorney’s office. I did some criminal defense. Then I did medical malpractice defense for about five years. Then after that, I started to see a different path, a path where I could really take what all I have to bear to the table for my clients, which is myself and my experiences and understanding their experiences will give me the edge in their case. And that’s why I use the word tireless, relentless. Because I accept that awesome responsibility and I advocate for them and I go for it. We truly have people’s lives on our hands, understanding that carries with it, a great deal of responsibility and awesome responsibility. And so whatever you have to grapple with, whatever you have to bring to the table, bring it full force because this is where it matters. This is the arena of litigation.
