Managing Partner and Head of Litigation Department
I handle business litigation disputes in state, federal, and bankruptcy courts in Florida.
A typical day involves preparing legal documents to be presented in court, as well as review and analysis of adverse parties' court filings. Often times, I am involved in research projects relating to case preparation, as well as discussing potential solutions for my client's legal problems. A day does not go by that I am explaining to a client my assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of a case and the risks involved in continuing to litigate and alternative options for resolution.
Here's the first step for college students
Before pursuing a career as a lawyer in a private practice law firm, one should understand that the work is extraordinarily time consuming. As a lawyer, I often work over 60 hours a week, but I feel lucky because I enjoy it. I find the work mentally challenging and it makes the time pass quickly. Not everyone feels this way, and if it is not enjoyable it can be a very unpleasant experience.
