  3. A Difficult Beginning • Only 6% of law student body consists of women in 1975 • Began my legal career at Chicago Title and Trust. • Selected as the Legal Counsel to all five Illinois State Universities over 102 other candidates.

  4. Path to Happiness • Sacrifice and willingness to meet my clients’ goals regardless of the hurdles ahead of me. • Built my firm up from the sole desire to help my clients. • Have now expanded to a mid-size boutique firm

  5. What You Represent • Must fully understand the clients’ need. • Reach goals quickly and inexpensively to the client. • My motto: • Communication is the key • Understanding human psychology is a must • Honesty is the only policy

  6. Experience with politics • Actively participated in Illinois Democratic Activities. • Ran for political office 4 times, without success. • However, have learned and networked through my losses for the benefit of my clients. • The next generation should participate more in American politics in order to create awareness of the contributions of immigrants.

  7. Tao v. University of Arizona • Helped Professor Cha Lin Bao Tao with her fight against the University of Arizona regarding discrimination she faced. • Took on the case despite its difficulty and complexity. • Charged the University of Arizona with various counts of violations of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. • Settled the case and earned Professor Tao a position of Associate Professor with the tenure track.

  8. Practice of Law • The practice of law is a way, a practice of life. • Ready everything, pay attention to world news and events, focus on the issues, and make decisions intuitively based on logic and reasoning. • It is good to win, but it is better to lose because losing teaches you how to win again.
