I am a first generation immigrant from the Middle East. My parents decided to move here because my sister was born with cerebral palsy and the opportunities for her in the Middle East simply were not available so that she could grow and prosper. When we moved to America my mother’s professional license was not accepted in the states. So my mom had to go back to school and during that time my dad became an ice cr...

I decided to become an attorney because I wanted to help people who were being taken advantage of by large corporations. I felt like the only people who could afford good representation were rich people and I wanted to be an effective advocate for people who could normally not afford quality representation and plaintiff’s work gave me the chance to do that.

Being attorney was a lifelong pursuit of mine that has ultimately enriched my life both professionally and personally. Growing up I have always been competitive and after my professional baseball career ended I needed a new competitive outlet. Fortunately, the legal profession filled that void and it has been both challenging and rewarding. Becoming an attorney has afforded me the opportunity to advocate for other...

Truth be told, I argued a lot as a kid. One day someone told me I should be a lawyer with how much I argued. That just stuck in my head as a good idea for a career. We actually help people get better from their injuries. A lot of our clients say they just don’t know what to do after an accident, so being able to step up and guide them and make a tangible difference in their life is inspiring.

After my undergrad at ASU, I spent a couple of years working in the IT field. I enjoyed that work but ultimately wanted to do something else for a long-term career. A long-time family friend who is an attorney sold me on going to law school. There’s nothing more satisfying than achieving a positive result for a client who needs our help.

I wanted to help others who had been unfairly treated to get the justice they deserve. Personal injury law is one of the few areas where people are in physical pain and need help.

When I was in high school, doing debate and speech, it was clear to me I wanted to be a lawyer. From that day, I never waivered from my goal, finishing undergraduate and law school without taking time off to go in any other direction. Medical injuries can be life altering, and those who suffer must have a voice. I am honored to be that voice.

I’m not sure I ever chose to become an attorney. It was more like the law chose me. I always worked my way through school and have held many different jobs. After earning my B.A. I weighed my options and law school seemed to be the best fit and next logical step. I had no idea at the time it would eventually become my life’s work. I passed the bar 30 years ago this year and never looked back.

I became an attorney because when I was sixteen years old, we had a mock trial with our class and it involved a personal injury case. We had lawyers, witnesses, judges and a jury. I happened to be the lawyer for the injured person. I cannot forget that I lost the trial because we had the student who was supposedly injured dressed up with bandages oozing with blood. The jury could not believe that, knowing the tria...

I decided to become an attorney so that I could help those who are suffering find some relief. I am motivated by my family and by those who have been wrongly hurt. I am inspired by the dedication and diligence of those involved in the profession. Collectively, everyone wants to help those that have been wronged.
