Q&A

What has been your greatest achievement(s) within the past year?

There isn’t one single achievement I can point to because every day, my work as an eldercare/trusts & estates/special needs/Medicaid attorney permits me to help people protect their families and preserve their legacies for future generations. I also get to help my clients ensure that their loved ones with special needs will have the appropriate care and support during their lifetimes.

Q&A

What/who inspired you to be on the path you’re on today?

Jacqueline Berrien. I met Jackie when she was a student at Harvard Law School and dating my best friend Peter Williams. Jackie would marry Pete and become a friend, sounding board and mentor. She was always there to give me advice and was instrumental in many career decisions that I made including selecting Northwestern University School of law for law school. I was also able to watch Jackie’s rise to prominence as a Civil Rights attorney including her service as the Chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) under President Barack Obama. It is with great misfortune that Jackie passed in 2015, but her friendship and sage advice lives on in me. She is gravely missed.
