I decided to become an attorney because I enjoy the combination of different thinking styles, competitiveness and problem solving that are required in each situation.

What I enjoy most about being an attorney are the new challenges every day, working through complicated facts and legal issues to reach a solution that’s in the best interest of a particular client. Being an attorney is never boring.
