"I decided I didn’t want to run for President, and I wasn’t going to be the third baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals, so I became an attorney.
I’m a litigator because I like to compete and win. That was true when I was younger and played baseball, and it’s one of the reasons I like politics today. I enjoy being involved with teams of people working for a common goal that really matters.
At Brooks Pierce, complex litigation is a team sport. There are two (or sometimes, more) sides, and a clear set of rules. Not always, but most of the time, the team that works the hardest, that hones their natural talents, that prepares the most thoroughly, wins. I pride myself and our team on working hard and smart to win for our clients."
