I received the opportunity to further hone my legal research and writing skills, draft pleadings, attend discoveries, and most importantly, to play a role in making a difference in the lives of our clients. The firm fosters an environment in which learning is valued, questions are encouraged, and interpersonal relationships are cherished.
