Profile

I immigrated to America when I was a child.  From an early age, I came to realize and appreciate all of the opportunities this country offers to its people to help them achieve the American Dream.  I also became aware of the obstacles and injustices that prevent some from reaching their full potential.  My goal is to help level the playing field on behalf of the injured, the wronged, the voiceless.  In 2002, I joined the Balamuth firm.  I am very fortunate to work with this group of bright and passionate people.  I am even more fortunate to work with and help my clients, who come from all walks of life.  The best compliment my clients can give me is when they recommend me to a family member or close friend who is in need of help.
