What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
A client understanding their own case is key in Social Security law. Most frequently these cases are resolved at hearing where the client's testimony is critical. The better a client understand his or her own case, the better the hearing is likely to go. Clients are welcome to educate themselves. It is also a big part my job to aid in the education.
Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?
I am happy to do it.
Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?
Yes, depending on the stage of the case.
Why did you decide to be a lawyer?
Prior to going to law school I was working as an investigator in the legal system and it was a natural progression.
What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?
I have represented clients in all levels of the process from the district office, through the hearings level, in the United States District Court, and before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?
Social security law involves providing financial assistance and access to medical care for people that desperately need it.
