Career Path
I decided my career path fairly early. I was close to an uncle, who practiced law, and it seemed natural for me to pursue the legal profession. The practice of law is very demanding. The long hours caused me to sacrifice time with my family, so I tried to make the most of the time we did spend together. I am very proud that all four of my children followed me into the practice of law; three have joined my firm, the youngest will next year. I am a trial lawyer. It has always been my passion. It has never been a job.
Biggest Mentor
Early in my career, my uncle Howard Wittner. He was a great lawyer and litigator. Later, Charlie Shaw and Don Wolf. However, I developed my own style and trusted my instincts. As far as how a lawyer should conduct himself or herself, I think of Maurice Graham as a mentor, as well.
Biggest Impact
The thousands of individuals I have represented and the impact it has had on their lives, as well as on their families.
Future Goals
Continuing to practice law at a high level.
Favorite Pastime
Work out with weights and cardio.
Memorable Moment
The birth of my triplets Hayley, Cole and Alec, and my youngest son, Reed.
