What Made You Become a Lawyer?
Play

I come from a family that discusses politics and government at the dinner table and there is always a sense of being involved in helping people and being in a position to help people.  I realized that with the combination of my background and my family, that as an attorney I could do a lot to help people.  And that is exactly what I enjoy the most about what I do now.
