Realizing the american dream, my parents sacrifice so that I can succeed. And I've dedicated my life to living up to the examples that my parents have set. At 18, I enlisted in the army to give back to the country. That that's given my family, that's given me so much. With my legal practice, I've dedicated in representing consumers, specifically employment law employees. I take cases that deal with discrimination, harassment, and wrongful termination.
