I was born in Monrovia, Liberia, where at the age of seven I lived through one of the most harrowing experiences a child can endure — a violent military coup that did not merely upend a government, but tore through my own family. My grand uncle, President William R. Tolbert Jr. of Liberia, was assassinated in that coup on April 12, 1980. I fled Liberia, made my way to the United States, and channeled those defining experiences into a life of purposeful advocacy.
I built my career as a trial lawyer in Los Angeles, where I fight for civil rights and for individuals who have suffered catastrophic and life-altering injuries. For me, the mission is always the same: ensuring that justice is not merely a promise, but a reality delivered regardless of who sits on the other side of the table.
I have twin boys and am a passionate believer in the power of artificial intelligence as a tool for equality. In a legal landscape long dominated by large firms with vast resources, AI levels the playing field giving small plaintiff-side firms like mine the ability to compete, innovate, and ultimately serve our clients better. I see it not as a threat to the profession, but as one of the greatest equalizers our profession has ever seen.
