00:03
well I went into the profession of law
00:06
to make a difference in the world and to
00:08
help people and I’m proud to say 27
00:10
years into that law practice that’s what
00:13
I do every day every day in a litigation
00:16
practice we get calls from people who
00:18
have problems sometimes it’s a problem
00:20
that affects their very livelihood their
00:22
liberty their speech their fundamental
00:25
rights their right to be able to work in
00:27
the profession they want and we’re able
00:29
to help many of those people on a
00:31
consistent basis we’re able to help
00:33
guide them to a resource that can help
00:36
them if hiring a lawyer is not
00:37
appropriate or if we’re the appropriate
00:39
choice fighting for them passionately
00:41
and making sure that at the end of the
00:43
case they feel like we left it all on
00:45
the field and did everything we could to
00:47
help them achieve their goals and
00:49
sometimes clients have difficult goals
00:51
and we do our best to accomplish those
00:53
I’m proud to say that through our work
00:55
as lawyers we have saved people’s jobs
00:57
save people’s lives even in Asylum cases
01:00
and save their businesses every day we
01:03
do that and that’s really very rewarding
01:04
to me as a business owner and somebody
01:07
who believes in the Bill of Rights and
01:09
in Liberty
01:14
number one I think is excellence we want
01:17
to be excellent at whatever we do we are
01:20
not all things to all people and so
01:23
we’ve developed practice areas and
01:24
expertise over the years that is in
01:27
these specific areas and so we try to
01:29
make sure that number one we are not
01:31
taking on cases that are not within
01:33
those areas that we focus on and also
01:36
focus on cases where we enjoy doing the
01:39
work I think that’s also important for
01:41
morale and for making sure that the
01:44
clients get all of our passion behind
01:45
the cases so where there are practice
01:48
areas that we feel are not sort of
01:50
consistent with our passions and our
01:52
values we don’t handle those types of
01:54
cases and even when the practice area is
01:56
if we have clients who have goals that
01:59
are at odds with our you know belief of
02:01
what the law should be or is or
02:04
positions we’re willing to take we don’t
02:06
do those so we are very passionate about
02:09
the type of work we handle and very
02:12
committed to that at the same time I
02:14
would say we’re always learning new
02:15
things so our firm is a type of case
02:18
where if any one of us sees a new
02:19
development in the law we send it around
02:21
to everybody and make sure that we’re
02:23
all up on the latest developments and I
02:26
think the way that we pick and choose
02:28
our clients and our practice areas
02:30
really gives us the freedom to really
02:32
focus down on the details of what we
02:35
practice and making sure we’re
02:36
delivering really up-to-date and
02:37
excellent client service
02:42
I went into the law profession from a
02:45
family that there are no lawyers so it
02:47
was a kind of a novel thing for me to go
02:49
into that field but being a
02:51
first-generation American I saw that
02:53
lawyers can play a critical role in
02:56
ensuring the rights of citizens and
02:58
ensuring that people can have economic
03:00
Liberty as well and so that is why I
03:03
went into the law profession and I have
03:06
you know chosen the specific practice
03:09
area of litigation to be able to fight
03:11
for people’s rights I feel very
03:12
satisfied and being able to take a
03:14
position and then giving it my all and
03:16
advocating fiercely for our clients that
03:19
is why I went into this profession and
03:22
what I do every day
03:23
and I have also hand selected all the
03:25
people who work here at our firm who
03:27
share those similar values passions and
03:30
goals and are really focused on
03:32
delivering the best for our clients
