Most lawyers, myself included, get into law because they see it as a way to help people. This simple fact surprises many people because — let’s be honest — most TV shows tend to depict lawyers as the epitome of corporate greed and sketchy practices. But in truth, most of us are just regular people trying to use our legal knowledge to do some good for our communities. For me, the draw toward law started at an early age. In fact, for as long as I can remember, I have known that criminal defense is my calling. To this day, I can think of no better way to help the people of Morgantown when they need it most.
