my path to becoming a trial attorney uh
was really a little
serendipitous I began as a physician I
practiced medicine I was a pediatrician
who worked for a major children’s
hospital and when I finished my
residency program I was thinking about
uh what to do with the rest of my career
and whether I should subspecialize in
some area of Pediatrics and I decided
that what I really was interested is in
the legal field and my original thought
was that I would move into the area of
healthcare administration and maybe
someday become the CEO of a hospital or
work in some regards within the field of
medicine after I uh completed my
education my law school and my pediatric
residency I then began practicing
General Pediatrics where I headed up a
an outpatient physician practice I also
did some inpatient Pediatrics and at
some point I just recognized that it
really wasn’t for me my personality
really didn’t fit in with the
pediatricians and I really had more of
the personality of an attorney I was a
little more aggressive I was not afraid
of uh controversy and and taking on the
higher ups and I decided to make the
transition into practicing
law I tell my clients that they need to
be patient unfortunately living
litigation takes a long time much longer
than really it should uh and it’s very
difficult to people uh to be patient
because frequently they’re injured they
have real needs
today but there’s no way to get them
money until the case Works its way
through the system so although
settlements frequently do occur those
settlements often only occur after
litigation is completed right on the
verge of trial that means can literally
be years between when a client comes to
me and when there’s eventually a
recovery for them so patience is really
critical
