I represent governmental entities in defending civil rights litigation and tort claims.
Each day varies depending on what is on my calendar. At any given time, I am handling approximately 20-30 different cases which each come with their own set of deadlines / court appearances. Some days I'm at the office writing reports to my clients, or drafting legal motions and briefs, or I can be attending depositions, mediations or hearings. Makes it all the more exciting and definitely not boring!

Gain experience (paid or unpaid) in the summers before and during college and graduate school.
