In an ideal world, I engage primarily in civil litigation involving police brutality lawsuits and wrongful conviction lawsuits while also maintaining a smaller criminal defense practice. Of course, I feel like to get there I'd like to become a prosecutor first, primarily for the trial experience and secondarily for the credibility for issues related to civil suits against government actors (such as police officers, security guards etc.).
