“As much as I loved playing music, I quickly realized that it was not what I wanted to do as my profession. I love problem solving, putting myself in someone else’s position and trying to fix that problem. I grew up the daughter of two lawyers—and the niece, cousin, and granddaughter of judges—so discussing issues, taking a position and using logical reasoning was just…dinner talk. I love fixing problems and that is what being a lawyer is all about.”

FFP represented me after an accident and won. They are a great law firm. Jack Fine and all of his associates work very hard to win cases. Never had any problems getting hold of if I had any questions or problems. They were very persistent to win my case. I appreciate all that they did.
