Personal Q&A
Why do you practice at Burr & Forman, LLP
Burr & Forman is a full-service law firm, and its lawyers are good lawyers and good people. It is a relatively large law firm, which is a great strength because when I need a lawyer with expertise outside of my own, one of my colleagues can help. At the same time, our lawyers have good working relationships with each other and our clients, so Burr & Forman is also a close-knit and caring firm.
What do you do in your spare time?
I spend as much time possible with my family and taking care of them. It's difficult to balance work and family, but I have been able to do it since I began working at Burr & Forman in 2001 after my judicial clerkship.
