My son means the world to me. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to make sure that he has everything he needs to thrive.
That’s why I founded Shark Lawyers for Men: to provide fierce legal advocacy to fathers and protect men’s rights in court. I’ve been through the system myself, and I’ve seen every side of it.
Everyone deserves to have their side of the story heard.
After graduating from DePaul University, I decided to continue my education and become a lawyer.
My first job as a practicing lawyer was as a prosecutor for the city of Chicago. Over two decades later, I’ve done everything from criminal defense and personal injury to family law.
In all of these very different types of cases, I found there was always one thing in common: my clients needed someone in their corner. I learned to be that advocate – to listen to my clients’ story and to help them keep up the fight, whatever it takes.
Around the time that I was founding my first law firm, I legally adopted my son. While I was always passionate about what I did, starting a family gave me new purpose.
I taught myself how to run a business, market my services, and still have time to provide my clients with top-notch legal counsel. For many years, I answered every client call that came in myself, day or night.
While I hustled, I also went through divorce and custody issues and fought every step of the way for what was best for my son.
I’m grateful to say that everything worked out: waking my son up every morning and driving him 37 minutes to school is the highlight of my day.
But I know that that’s not the case for every family, or for every man facing family law issues.
