I was lucky to work on a wide array of cases, helping people from all backgrounds navigate a complex justice system. This involved being in the courtroom nearly every day handling wide-ranging and difficult issues for the individuals and families that find themselves in Juvenile Court.

I was fortunate to work with many dedicated lawyers, judges, case workers, service providers, and other professionals in the some of the most challenging and rewarding work there is in the world.
