Why are you an attorney?
In college, I wanted to be an actor, and then a TV sportscaster. But neither of these careers felt really satisfying to me --- I didn't feel like I was truly serving others. So, I went to law school thinking I could help folks in need. That's why I tell people that I practice Humpty-Dumpty law. I help people and families whose lives have been seriously damaged, through no fault of their own, put their lives back together by holding irresponsible people and companies accountable for their misdeeds.
