I decided to become a lawyer because I
00:07
personally feel that lawyers wield the
00:09
most power in making significant change
00:12
for people I think a lot of people don’t
00:15
understand what their rights are don’t
00:17
understand what sort of course of action
00:19
they can take when someone wrongs them
00:22
when they do something wrong and lawyers
00:24
are in the best position to like guide
00:26
them properly and to ensure that they’re
00:30
taken care of in a way that you probably
00:32
couldn’t do if you didn’t have this
00:33
background my two mentors would be the
00:40
two attorneys that I’ve worked under
00:42
here at Chernov for the past two and a
00:45
half years be Sam Boucher and Travis
00:47
Corby they’ve taught me pretty much
00:49
everything that I know about my law
00:51
practice I’ve learned how to deal with
00:54
clients deal with opposing counsel my
00:56
writing has improved under both of them
00:58
they’ve given me a lot of free rein to
01:01
sort of make mistakes and correct me
01:03
along the way and I think that’s the
01:05
best way to learn so I’m really
01:07
appreciative to them for that
