I have spent my legal career defending the little guy against big corporations. Everyday we help regular people fight the mortgage companies, insurance companies and the big auto companies. Without proper representation, citizens do not stand a chance against these large corporations. While taking on these cases is surely challenging the reward of helping those truly in need is unmatched.
