I\xe2\x80\x99ve always wanted to be a lawyer, but when I was younger I didn\xe2\x80\x99t think it was possible. Neither one of my parents graduated from college or university. I was the first in my immediate family to go to university - much less law school. As an immigrant and a woman, I know some of the challenges my clients face in getting launched in their new lives and in a new culture.
We are a fast-growing dynamic law firm. Our clients tell us repeatedly that we provide a higher level of service, responsiveness, attention to detail, and expertise than they have experienced elsewhere. We pride ourselves on our client-focused service. Our firm transforms lives.
Compensation is based on experience.
