My legal career has been focused on helping victims of asbestos-related cancers, including mesothelioma, receive the compensation and justice they deserve. I’ve especially enjoyed working with U.S. veterans and their families.

I have a genuine interest in every person’s story and feel like it’s my job to empower my clients to fight for themselves and their families. It’s rewarding to see the differences in the lives of the families I’ve represented.

I pride myself on the personal attention I give to each and every client’s case that crosses my desk.

Advocacy and pro bono work

It has always been important for me to give back to my community in and out of the courtroom and to support our veterans.

In 2008, I collaborated with the Veterans’ Legal Support Clinic (VLSC) at John Marshall Law School to facilitate training for volunteer attorneys who were willing to represent veterans in their Veterans’ Administration claims. VLSC is an invaluable resource for veterans and their families who are attempting to navigate an often complex and difficult legal administrative process. VLSC can make the difference between a veteran receiving or not receiving their earned benefits.

Following this success, I was instrumental working to form an Illinois pro bono program. I collaborated with Chief Judge Ann Callis of the 3rd Judicial Circuit Court and the Illinois State Bar Association (ISBA) to identify the communities in-need that could benefit from our services. I trained attorneys who offered free representation to minors and disabled adults in custody and guardianship disputes.

The ISBA awarded the firm the John C. McAndrews Award in 2009, which honors members of the legal profession who have shown extraordinary commitment to providing free legal services to the poor.
