QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelors of Science in Honors in Biochemistry

University Of Arizona – 1987

Juris Doctorate

Case Western Reserve – 1991

I
was born in Tucson, Arizona. Yes it’s a far cry from the big city, but I finally made it to Phoenix, Arizona in 1991.
In the meantime, I graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor of Science in Honors in Biochemistry in 1987. From 1987 to 1998, I worked at the Arizona Cancer Center as a Research Assistant studying different treatments for Cancer patients.

Making no sense to myself at all, I applied and was accepted to law school at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland, Ohio. So, I went to Cleveland, Ohio. Originally, my aspiration was to become an Environmental Attorney. That was really dry. Then, I decided to become an Intellectual Property Attorney, and was hired by the only Bio-Tech Law Firm in Arizona. That’s when I moved to Phoenix, and quickly realized how uneventful was the practice of Patent Law.

I sat, and I pondered. I remembered that all my extra credits in law school focused around criminal courses such as criminal law and psychiatry. I was even allowed to try several cases as a law student, and remember that the one case I prosecuted and won, I felt really bad about. So, after six months of practicing patent law, I switched to criminal defense work.
