My Greatest Accomplishment
Becoming an attorney focused on civil, family and estate litigation, where I tend to represent fathers in family law cases, traditionally the underdogs of these matters. Hard work and a loving and supporting family combined with a terrific learning environment at Drexel helped me to make my childhood dream of helping people and making a difference become a reality. Currently, my firm is representing Congressman Chaka Fattah against a litany of federal charges, and I became part of the defense team by virtue of my background experience with criminal defense and strengths in legal writing.
How Drexel Helped
Drexel helped me to visualize, and construct, my future. The experience I had while in law school changed my way of thinking and broadened professional horizons into areas otherwise beyond my reach. Through diversity fellowships, co-op placements, pro bono work and leadership opportunities, I was able to cultivate my career in an environment that was fresh and innovative, yet challenging and engaging.
Where I’ll Be In Five Years
My family practice, emboldened by a broad geographic reach, will continue to facilitate and redefine the modern family and what co-parenting, remarriage and adoption mean to my clients and their families.
