Why Do You Practice Estate Planning and Elder Care Law?
I went to law school because I was interested about how the law works and how people use the law intelligently for their benefit. I was exposed to this quote from a famous judge early on in my law school days:
My passion started from my early success in my property law classes and then my estate and trust classes. I then learned after two years of law practice, that I love working directly with clients and explaining legal concepts to them.
After law school, I worked at a litigation firm. The experience was great for two reasons: 1) I discovered that my strength in practicing law is in educating and counseling clients thorough complex legal issues; and 2) I am not passionate about arguing or beating up people in court.
One client in particular taught me that I loved working with seniors. I feel like my values are actually similar to an older generation. Heck, my grandfather was my best man at my wedding. I feel a good connection working with people over 60 or those taking care of people over 60. It is my passion to help this group.
