Lowell’s “Why”
When I was in high school, doing debate and speech, it was clear to me I wanted to be a lawyer. From that day, I never wavered from my goal, finishing undergraduate and law school without taking time off to go in any other direction. Medical injuries can be life altering, and those who suffer must have a voice. I am honored to be that voice.
