After I graduated from law school, I wanted to be a criminal defense attorney.  So, I started my legal career by accepting court-appointed criminal defense cases.  After I was rear-ended three times in one year and suffered compounded whiplash, I  became interested in personal injury law.  Since then, I have combined my knowledge of personal injury law and criminal law to accept Police Misconduct cases and have continued to expand my practice into other areas of the law.
