About
First generation college & law school graduate + first… read more generation business owner. Consider me a creative who just happens to be a lawyer and won't play the elitism nonsense. No races to the bottom and no babysitters needed for me. My most recent job was attorney application assistant in a pro se asylum clinic where I helped migrants with various applications for immigration. I saw and heard a LOT there.
