Family is number one.  I have lived in the Chicago area my entire life and I am therefore a Bears fan.  I keep busy outside of work by playing in a band.   Luckily for everyone, we play music that was written by successful bands of the 70s, 80s and a few 90s.  The adventurous side of me has taken flying lessons, jumped from an airplane (with a parachute) and bundgee jumped from a bridge.  I am a dog lover, but have nothing against cats.  I have always been competitive and this helps me in and out of the courtroom.  I handle injury cases for a living and winning is always my goal.  I cannot take away what happened to my client, but I can make "them" pay for what they did!
