Member Spotlight
Mario Nguyen was the first in his family to graduate high school, and he never expected to be a lawyer. But his grit and commitment to advocating for others helped him overcome his life’s obstacles and motivated him to attend law school. Mario's advice to others: “there is no one way to be a lawyer.”
Thank you to PR Committee member Sydney Leigh Martin for sharing Mario's inspirational story with our members.
