Article written by Dale K. Galipo
My interest in being a lawyer started at a young age, and I attribute key aspects of my upbringing to my formation as a trial lawyer. I recall as a child being very outgoing, inquisitive, and always seeking adventure. I am told by my mother that I often caused her nerves to rattle because on any given day, I would be found on a rooftop, a bridge, or other precarious places involved in some adventurous mischief. |
