You imagine the money they make from taking down the “big” corporations in court. What I’m trying to say is people who are on the outside of law offices see the mask that is put up by studios and media.

Ever since I was six years old I knew that I wanted to become an attorney and that it would take many years of schooling. At this young age, I did not have a clue what an attorney did. All I saw was that the attorney would go to court and argue with a man. Some school days were rough. My parents both immigrants, with no education, could not help me with simple school work.
