I call myself the "Common People" lawyer.  

I was raised to be self sufficient ever since I was old enough to babysit and deliver newspaper.  I worked to put myself through college, law school and master degree.  During the first phase of my law practice, My objective was to become a "rich and famous" lawyer.  When I clawed my way there to the top, I couldn't figure out why I was so unhappy...So, I walked away from everything --my high paying salary, my condo by the lake, my personal shopper, my rich clients with limos and yachts, my supporters for politics,  including my law practice....

IT TOOK 10 YEARS for me to realize that the most important thing in my life is not the admiration and envy of others, but what makes me the happiest.  In 2004, I finally had enough courage to come back to the practice of law.  I fell in love with being in the courtroom fighting the difficult fights.  In the courthouse, I have cried, laughed, screamed, yelled, shouted, hated and loved, and all could happen in one day.... My colleagues have described me as "a lawyer with a passion".  Whatever.... I love being in the courtroom.  

我稱自己為“尋常百姓”律師。

我從小就自給自足，從照看孩子到送報紙。我用我的工作賺來的錢讀完大學，法學院，碩士學位。在我從事法律事務的第一階段，我想成為的是“名利雙收”的大律師。當我努力的爬到那人生的頂端，我無法弄清楚，為什麼我如此不快樂......所以，我走了,也遠離了一切 - 我的高工資，我的湖邊公寓，我的私人購物員，我的客戶所提供的豪華轎車和遊艇，我的政治支持者，包括我的法律事業....

我花了10年時間才發現我生命中最重要的不是別人的欽佩和羨慕，反而是那些可以讓我快樂的境況。在2004年，我終於有足夠的勇氣回來法律事業。我愛上了與在法庭上困難的戰鬥。在法院，我哭了，笑了起來，尖叫，大喊，大叫，恨和愛，而這一切有可能都發生在一天之內....我的同事們描述我是“充滿熱情的律師”。不管了....我喜歡在法庭上。
