If you could only tell them one thing, what one thing do you feel is most important for recent law school graduates to know about that would help them be successful attorneys? I think a new attorney should first find their personal vision of "success" - is it money, work/life balance, satisfaction with the substance of the work? Be true to the work and life you want as opposed to what you think a lawyer should be.

What are some of the ways that you became a successful attorney? The most important thing was to learn from mentors and other successful experienced attorneys. I implemented what I learned. The next was to move out of my comfort zone and take some leaps of faith toward what I wanted for myself.


If you could change one thing that happened during your career, what would it be? I would have made efforts to move toward what I wanted in the career sooner as opposed to letting fear of the unknown hold me back.

What is your advice for current law students on how they can prepare for their future careers now? Start getting exposure and hands on experience within the practice while still in school (as an intern, via a law school clinic, etc). This will not only help a student find out what they may or may not enjoy in the practice of law but will also give them practical skills to point to when applying for jobs.
