What advice would you offer to new attorneys interested in your field?

Be sure to focus on the professionalism aspect of the practice of law. What separates average lawyers from great lawyers is “how” they practice law, meaning responsiveness, managing client expectations, and helping clients find solutions they may not be aware of.

Our voices, the words we speak, and our leadership matter more now than ever before.
