Why did you become a lawyer?

"I like to think I tripped and fell into practicing law. After an injury took me out of track and field for a period in high school, my social studies teacher encouraged me to join her mock trial team to keep myself busy. It very quickly became something I genuinely enjoyed and continued doing through law school. I loved tearing apart a case file, identifying and analyzing the fault lines, and building a comprehensive strategy around them. I like problem solving and mapping out every aspect of a file to ensure that we highlight and continuously re-emphasize our strongest arguments in a common-sense, easy to digest format. I take that mindset and apply it to my practice: frame the issues clearly and the rest tends to take care of itself. " - Faizan
