What is the biggest lesson you've learned since becoming an attorney?
Since becoming an attorney, I've learned just how big of an impact the work we do has on peoples' lives. The work comp system can bankrupt families and ruin lives when insurance companies deny people the compensation they deserve. In many cases, our clients need us to fight for them so they don't lose their homes or so they can keep food on their tables.Attorney Mistretta
