Q: Why did you choose to practice in Buffalo?

Q: What’s the one thing you want your clients to know about you?
A: I’d want my clients to know I’m always working toward what is in their best interests to close a deal.
Q: Why did you become an attorney?
A: I went to law school because I’d majored in Economics and Political Science and often, these can lead to law. I enjoy the philosophy and history behind law.

A: Deep South Taco.

Q: If you weren’t an attorney, which profession would you have chosen?
A: I always did like the medical profession because my mom is a nurse. I’m not sure I’d have the stomach for it, though.
