1. Why did you decide to practice law?

I decided to go to law school later in life after experiencing challenges

dealing with the legal system for a personal matter. I wanted to help people, and

that’s the real reason I decided to get a law degree. Women and children were of

particular concern to me. Domestic abuse and child abuse are issues that have

always tugged at my heart. Oftentimes, people who need help don’t get the help

they need because they either cannot afford it, or they don’t know where to go for

help. It was my desire to be an attorney who passionately advocated for those

who often don’t feel they have a voice, or are simply afraid to speak.
