"What has always motivated me is that, through this work, I can help to restore dignity and quality to people’s lives..."

I began working at Barasch McGarry as a paralegal in 1998. I remained with the firm throughout law school, working during the day, and attending classes after work. This was an exhausting time for me and a trying time for my family. My days were long; I began work early in the morning and attended classes late into the evening. I was seldom at home, and when I was, it was to study or sleep. In 2004, I graduated magna cum laude from Brooklyn Law School.
