Legal Practice Coaches

I'm a Stanford Law School grad working in-house in business operations at a startup. I previously advised startups at Goodwin Procter and developed product legal strategy at Microsoft. Before making the leap from law to business, I received summer associate offers from the top technology law firms, including Cooley, Fenwick & West, Gunderson Dettmer, and Wilson Sonsini. I also got offers from more traditional biglaw firms, like Skadden, Latham & Watkins, and Kirkland & Ellis. If you're a law student considering technology law, or a law student/lawyer thinking of pursuing a career in business instead, let me help! I can guide you through that decision and help you plan your next steps.

Put a Big Law attorney from the Big Apple in your corner. For years, I've helped students from across the country reach the upper tier of US and international law firms (e.g. Cravath, K&E, Skadden, etc.), and I'd love to help you: Polish your resume. Nail the interview. Land your dream job. After years working as a deals lawyer in the New York office of Clifford Chance, I am now in-house with a large asset manager and continue to work daily with premier US and international law firms. I hold a JD from BYU’s J. Reuben Clark Law School and, prior to joining Clifford Chance, clerked with the US Attorneys Office, Baker McKenzie and Wilson Sonsini’s tech subsidiary SixFifty. Since entering legal practice, I’ve enjoyed coaching individuals through the most crucial steps of the Big Law hiring process, including complex and shifting timelines, prepping for interviews and securing offers at their target firms. Whether you just need a second set of eyes on your resume or deeper insights into the application process, I'm here to help.

I formerly worked as a Big Law Associate and spent two summers in Big Law at three different multinational firms. In my capacity as Stanford Law School's Asian Pacific Islander Law Student Association Co-President, I mentored numerous law students in the recruiting and interviewing process. My professional background is primarily in public service, but I love thinking through how time in Big Law can help law students accomplish their personal and professional goals.

I launched my personal injury law firm in June 2009 with zero clients and have built it into a thriving practice. Over the past 18 years, I have successfully settled more than 400 cases. Unlike attorneys who only focus on legal work, I’ve run every facet of my practice myself — from client acquisition and marketing to accounting, tax preparation, and negotiating settlements with insurance companies. This gives me a unique perspective on what it truly takes to succeed as a solo personal injury lawyer. I coach attorneys on all aspects of building and running a successful personal injury practice, including: Case Selection – How to identify profitable, winnable cases and avoid ones that will drain your time. Client Acquisition – Proven strategies to attract and retain high-quality clients. Marketing & SEO – How to build a sustainable pipeline of cases through online visibility and referrals. Practice Management – Running your firm efficiently without burning out. Work-Life Balance – Maintaining your health, family relationships, and long-term career satisfaction while practicing in one of the most demanding areas of law. Personal injury law is rewarding, but it is also stressful and time-consuming. Having coached myself through the ups and downs of solo practice, I know firsthand the systems, mindset, and strategies that allow you to not only survive but thrive.

Prior to moving in-house at a private investment fund (where I currently serve as General Counsel), I spent the first 5-6 years of my career at top law firms like Kirkland & Ellis and Gibson Dunn, where I specialized in complex M&A transactions and corporate governance, particularly in the energy sector. I hold a J.D. from the University of Texas at Austin and a B.A. in Economics from Texas A&M University.
