and prior to my time at mccutcheon, i clerked for two federal judges, judge -- judges. my practice focuses mostly on civil and white collar criminal cases. i've tried cases, arbitrated them, mediated them, sort of up and down california as well as new york, delaware, tennessee. all over the country. our firm and me personally have a very strong commitment to doing pro bono work. i'm currently representing a man who, unfortunately, was convicted of murder which i don't think he committed. we're working to secure his release. a few years ago i tried a case on behalf of the parents of a young boy who was accidentally shot and killed. we tried a case, another uphill battle, a products liability case against a gun manufacturer. unfortunately we didn't win, but i have to say it was one of the most rewarding work in my career. i have also tried to serve the community outside of my pro bono work in my law firm, outside of my law practice. i currently serve on the board of directors of legal services for children. you may be familiar with it. it's a really remarkable organizatio
