Like most attorneys, I decided to embark on a career in the law because I wanted to make a difference.  My main inspiration was my time serving in the USMC, where I gained first-hand knowledge of the struggles of our nation's military personnel - both during and after their service.  That is why after a few years of practice with traditional firms, I decided to go solo in order to focus on representing our servicemembers, reservists, and veterans.  The areas I focus on are USERRA - the law that protects servicemembers/reservists/and veterans from employment discrimination; small business planning - helping those bring their business ideas to life; and general employment-related issues.
