When I was in the second grade, I told my parents that I wanted to be a lawyer. I had never met a lawyer before, but based on what I saw in the movies and on TV, I figured lawyers were smart people who helped people. After spending some time playing music in bands and working in restaurants and bars, I got to work on my childhood plan in 2006 and started law school the following year. I began practicing law in 2010 and got my first job representing Plaintiffs in asbestos litigation in April 2011.
For almost my entire career, I have worked for amazing people who have lost amazing people way too early. People who have lost their husbands, wives, mothers, and fathers. People who missed out on their golden years. People who lost their partners in life years too early. People who didn’t have their parents to lean on for help and advice when they were raising their own children.
I have represented people from all over the country in all aspects of their cases from beginning to end. Since 2017, most of my time has been spent working on trials. After initially serving as a second chair, I got the opportunity to lead my first trial in 2022. In the proudest moment of my career, my team and I secured some real justice for Deanne Warren and her family. I’ve been trying to replicate that feeling ever since and plan on doing so for the rest of my career.
I’m proud to stand with people who refuse to back down, who fight for what’s right even when the odds seem stacked against them. This work is more than just my profession—it’s personal. And every case I take is an opportunity to deliver justice for those who need it most.
