Family Law"If not me, who?" is a question that I ask myself often. I decided to become a lawyer after asking myself this question; I wanted to help people and saw becoming a lawyer as a means to that end. When I settled down in a community after going out on my own, I learned that my new community's fire and EMS services were reliant upon volunteers to answer the call. "If not me, who," I asked myself, and promptly answered the question by signing up and training to become a firefighter and then an Emergency Medical Technician in my community.
