I became a lawyer because I wanted to
0:06
help people and I was specifically drawn
0:09
to employment law because of how I
0:11
observed that an employees livelihood
0:14
and an employees wages um are so
0:17
fundamental to that employees dignity
0:19
and existence in this world and when
0:22
that space is interfered with um in a
0:25
neg in a negative way and when an
0:28
employee is subjected to a abuses in
0:30
that space or um withheld proper wages
0:34
proper dignity and respect in that space
0:37
um it really affects their very being
0:40
and the being of all those around them
0:43
um I became a lawyer so that I can help
0:46
these individuals present their stories
0:48
of Injustice and enable them to move on
0:52
from there um hopefully seeking redress
0:54
and
0:58
accountability
1:01
I remember that every person’s story is
1:03
important that the legal precedent and
1:07
the processes within each workplace is
1:10
built upon proper treatment of each
1:13
individual that case law that Supreme
1:16
Court precedent that um how a human
1:20
resources department learns lessons and
1:23
moves forward depends upon each
1:26
individual having a voice each
1:28
individual being considered
1:30
and hopefully through that process to
1:33
make the pl the workplace a better place
1:35
for all I strive to help my clients be
1:39
empowered to tell their stories their
1:42
genuine stories of betrayal of abuse of
1:45
hurt but also um of a passion for the
1:48
work and the mission of their
1:50
organization and I strive to inform the
1:54
employer and my adversaries of the
1:57
import of my client stories um to get
2:00
them to know why they matter and to do
2:02
something about that
