so when i was um right out of uh
00:07
college i worked at the old first
00:09
interstate bank in nevada i was a
00:11
lending officer we didn’t have a law
00:13
school here in nevada yet and so i was
00:17
much more on the finance part
00:19
interestingly that was the days when
00:21
banks actually had their own in-house
00:24
local council
00:26
we would interact with them quite a bit
00:28
and
00:29
he encouraged me um to go back to law
00:32
school um because i
00:34
was very interested which some loan
00:36
officers weren’t in the actual loan
00:38
documents and why we were having people
00:40
sign the documents we were having them
00:42
sign
00:43
he encouraged me to go back to school
00:45
and so i left las vegas and went back to
00:47
law school and it’s really helped me
00:50
my
00:50
mba and my banking background
00:53
in dealing with banks no one knowing
00:56
creditor mentality
00:58
what goes on behind the scenes with
01:00
banks and my ability to read and review
01:04
debtors financial statements
01:06
in a bankruptcy which believe it or not
01:08

01:23
and
01:24

01:25
a bit
01:26
and growing up one of the things that my
01:28
father um who was a surgeon here in town
01:31
always said was this town has given so
01:34
much to us
01:35
and so we have a duty to give back and
01:37
so i’ve tried to keep that
01:40
and incorporate it with my legal career
01:43
and so i am presently now on the chair
01:45
of the client securities fund which is a
01:48
state organization a state bar
01:50
organization that
01:51
assesses and tries to reimburse clients
01:54
that have been
01:55
um
01:57
whose funds have been misappropriated by
01:59
um let’s just call them bad lawyers
02:01
and so before that i was on the actual
02:03
committee i’m the chair now so i’ve been
02:05
doing that for gosh eight nine years i’m
02:08
also on the legal aid pro bono board
02:11
and i’ve been doing that for probably
02:13
eight years as well which just assists
02:15
um legal aid legal aid of nevada in
02:19
deciding how to get out into the
02:20
community and get more lawyers involved
02:23
fundraising getting attorneys to take
02:25
