What are your areas of interest?

I’m interested in Family law, Estate Planning, Real Estate,

But most importantly I’m looking to learn how to be lawyer and the fundamentals. I’m don’t know to many lawyer outside of my classmates and I went to law school in North Carolina so my Atlanta Network is still small. I don’t have to practice my ideal areas right now. I just want to have a solid foundation on the fundamentals of litigation or transactions law.

In the past, lawyer wellness and lawyer discipline/character fitness for bar applicants have existed in silos.
