After Jessie’s death, I knew I wanted to serve others, but I wasn’t sure how just yet. I found my calling to become an advocate for my fellow veterans while attending college at Park University. My own experience with the U.S.
Early on when I started representing veterans I noticed that many of them had issues that overlapped with several of the practice areas that Elder Law attorneys practiced, such as estate planning, and long-term care planning for programs like Medicaid and VA Pension (commonly referred to as Aid & Attendance).
Everyone knows that the only certainty in life is death. However, what some may not know is that when a person passes away their estates may have to go through probate. Having lost many loved ones in my lifetime, I wanted to assist others going through this challenging time. For this reason, I decided to practice probate law.
A few years after I started practicing law I came across my first personal injury case, which involved a veteran who was injured in a car accident when he was rear-ended while stopped at a red light.
When I am not practicing law, I enjoy golfing, watching documentaries, spending time with my rescue dog Molly, and volunteering in the community. Every year I organize and host the Sgt. Jessie Davila Memorial Classic golf tournament to raise money for the scholarship in his name.
