Frequently Asked Questions
I became an attorney because I have always been drawn to advocacy, justice, and the opportunity to use my voice to help others. I wanted a career that would challenge me intellectually while allowing me to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
What ultimately drew me to the law was the human element. Behind every case is a person, a family, and a story. I wanted to be in a profession where I could listen to those stories, understand the complexities involved, and advocate for people during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
My experiences in the courtroom and with the New Jersey Superior Court reinforced my belief that preparation, empathy, and effective advocacy can make a meaningful difference in the outcome of a case.
