Why I chose to be an attorney.
I was born and raised in Fort Pierce Florida, the second son of parents who stressed, honesty, hard work, and community service. At an early age, I was instilled with the passion to help others by watching my parents. Both dedicated their lives to helping others, my father by serving on the local school board for 36 years, while being a community servant and my mother by teaching for 44 years in the classroom, then tutoring for free for 15 years. Their dedication to others inspired me to become an attorney and keep the legacy of helping and hard work alive.
Let me prove this dedication as your attorney.
