I think my guiding philosophy is to try
00:07
to treat clients the way that I would
00:09
want to be treated if I were in their
00:11
shoes I think in family law a lot of
00:14
times we see people at a very vulnerable
00:17
turbulent time in their lives and
00:19
interacting with the legal system can be
00:21
daunting so I really try to treat
00:25
clients with compassion and give
00:27
information because I think it can be a
00:29
confusing and overwhelming time as well
00:32
to some degree there’s a hardening that
00:34
can happen for people within the court
00:37
system or people who are interacting
00:39
with people who have family law matters
00:41
just due to the volume of the cases and
00:44
the recurrence of certain issues so I
00:46
think it’s really important to remember
00:48
that every client is an individual and
00:51
that these decisions are deeply
00:54
important and matter in the day-to-day
00:56
lives of families and so I really try to
00:59
advocate for and communicate with my
01:02
clients with that in mind one formative
01:10
experience for me was working as a
01:12
guardian ad litem which is something
01:14
that I did after law school so a
01:16
guardian ad litem advocates for the best
01:18
interests of children in child
01:20
protection cases and that experience was
01:23
eye-opening for me seeing the
01:26
constraints that the system is operating
01:29
under and the limitations of certain
01:31
actors in the system and it highlighted
01:34
to me how important it is to be a
01:37
diligent passionate advocate because
01:41
those decisions really matter
01:45
