“I went to law school for not necessarily the noblest of reasons at first. I wanted to make sure that I would not be poor—that I wouldn’t have to depend on anyone else as far as making money—that I could always have an education and go. It went back to the way I was raised.
I had a stay at home mom and my mom didn’t necessarily have the confidence to do much else besides be a mom. And when my dad got sick they recognized that she didn’t have a driver’s license. She didn’t know how to balance a checkbook. She didn’t know how to use a debit card. And so I watched that happen and really worried about the idea of being so dependent on someone else that I didn’t know how to support myself. So that’s why I went to law school.
When I came out, I ended up in bankruptcy law because I tend to identify with people that are hurting, that are in financial trouble that needs someone that cares enough to figure out what the best solution is for them—because it’s not always bankruptcy. Sometimes there are other options, but if they do need bankruptcy, you need someone that understands that it’s hard to file bankruptcy. It became what I liked and it’s kind of a puzzle that you have to figure out (numbers), and fitting someone in is sometimes an issue. I like the challenge of it and I tend to like the people that I meet.”
