A Message of Gratitude to the Oakland Community
To the Oakland community – thank you!
Nine years ago, you trusted me with your vote in Oakland Magazine's "Best of Oakland" competition. And then you did it again. And again. For nine consecutive years, you have shown up for me, and I want you to know that I've never taken that for granted for a single minute.
Why This Work Matters
One of my great joys as a lawyer is helping Oakland business owners and residents navigate some of the most important moments of their lives. Whether it's a business deal, a dispute, or a contract that needs to get done right, I show up every day because this community deserves nothing less. Your recognition through "Best of Oakland" is a reminder of why that work matters – and it pushes me to keep raising the bar.
A Decade in the Making
This year, I find myself on the cusp of something I could not have imagined when I first received that honor: ten consecutive years. A decade. And I'd be lying if I said I didn't want it.
So here I am, hat in hand, making my most humble ask yet: vote for me in this year's Best of Oakland competition. Not just for the milestone – though I will admit, ten in a row has a nice ring to it – but because I intend to spend the next decade earning it all over again.
Oakland, you have had my back for nine years. Let's make it a decade!
