After earning a BA from the University of South Florida, they pursued a legal education in Boston, graduating at the top of their class with a Juris Doctorate in law. Having worked hard all their life, they deeply understand the value of treating others as one would want to be treated, a lesson instilled by their parents. They believe that successful case resolutions stem from having a lawyer who genuinely cares and knows how to apply the law effectively, especially when working with diverse individuals. Recognizing and unmasking hidden traits in people, particularly during jury selection, is one of their strengths, which they refer to as understanding the “diverse situational personality.” This skill is crucial in connecting with decision-makers and winning over juries, a task at which they excel.
