The most important thing I do in my job is help real people with real problems. It is an absolute privilege to be an attorney and have the ability to help individuals in need, especially those who might not otherwise have a way to seek help. What is one aspect of your profession you would like to change? I would like to change the negative perception the public sometimes has about lawyers, and help others understand that the professional is held to the highest of ethical standards, and governs and polices itself accordingly. Bad, unethical lawyers are the rare exception, and do not represent the vast majority of hard working advocates.
