After graduating from DePaul University, I decided to continue my education and become a lawyer.
My first job as a practicing lawyer was as a prosecutor for the city of Chicago. Over two decades later, I’ve done everything from criminal defense and personal injury to family law.
In all of these very different types of cases, I found there was always one thing in common: my clients needed someone in their corner. I learned to be that advocate – to listen to my clients’ story and to help them keep up the fight, whatever it takes.
Around the time that I was founding my first law firm, I legally adopted my son. While I was always passionate about what I did, starting a family gave me new purpose.
I taught myself how to run a business, market my services, and still have time to provide my clients with top-notch legal counsel. For many years, I answered every client call that came in, day or night.
This hustle instilled in me a deep understanding of the plight of hardworking individuals. I know what it’s like to push yourself to the limit, to sacrifice for your family, and what the pressures to provide can lead to.
This experience drives my unwavering commitment to workers’ compensation clients. I understand the fear, the frustration, and the financial strain.
