Q & A

How do you tackle clients’ issues?

I engage in every matter committed to furthering my clients’ interests. I instinctively approach each issue anticipating and addressing any possible future legal complications. Being able to identify potential legal pitfalls before they arise is invaluable. I believe my clients appreciate my 360 degree view of the road ahead.

What is a professional achievement you are proud of?

I am very proud of my pro-bono work representing undocumented immigrants. For starters, it was an immense responsibility to have someone’s life in my hands. I approached each case humbly and with deep respect for the legal gravity associated with these types of cases. I love my work within the real estate industry. However, there is something eternally rewarding when my efforts led to the stabilization of a family. For instance, I was once able to help one of my clients stay in the country which allowed her to continue providing for her family . . . that was a priceless moment.
