What motivated you to choose the Legal sector as a domain of work and how has been your career span?
Since childhood, I have dreamed of becoming a lawyer. My passion for justice has been deeply ingrained in me since then. After graduating from law school, I worked as an assistant to a judge and a prosecutor, which provided me with valuable real-life experience and reinforced my ultimate aspiration: to serve those in need of defense and to deliver justice to my clients as an attorney.
I was born in Brasília, the capital of Brazil, a city predominantly populated by public servants. While many of my university colleagues aspired to become judges, prosecutors, or police officers, I chose to pursue a career in law as an independent entrepreneur, serving my community as an attorney. I love my profession and am dedicated to my work.
Criminal law has been a passion of mine. I love to develop thesis for complex cases and I spend countless hours studying a case. My motivation behind becoming a criminal lawyer was driven by the passion for justice and the desire to help those who does not have proper voice in the legal system. I have always been fascinated by the complexities of the law, with full engagement to the challenging and dynamic nature of criminal law.
I was also inspired by the idea of standing up for the rights of individuals who may have been wrongfully accused or who may not have the resources to effectively defend themselves. My decision to specialize in criminal law was solidified during my time in law school, where I had the opportunity to work on real criminal cases and realize the impact that a skilled and dedicated criminal lawyer can have on the outcome of a case. I was drawn to the high stakes and intense nature of criminal defense work, and I knew that I wanted to focus my career on defending the rights of those accused of crimes. Overall, my motivation for becoming a criminal lawyer and specializing in this field was driven from a deep-seated belief in justice and my commitment to standing up for those who are most vulnerable in our legal system. I am passionate about fighting for the rights of my clients and ensuring that they receive a fair trial and the best possible legal representation.
Key lessons or experiences that have enriched you and are currently aiding you in your work profile?
The most memorable learning experience I had as an attorney was when I was involved in a challenging litigation case that pushed me to my limits. I had to dig deep into a bunch of legal stuff like documents, laws, and court cases to make a solid case for my client. As I went through this journey, I discovered how to tackle legal challenges, work well with my colleagues, and present my findings in a way that everyone can understand. This experience was not just about learning the law, but it also helped me become a better thinker and communicator, which are important skills for my job as an attorney. This learning experience really pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me grow in ways I never thought possible. It reminded me that the legal field is always evolving, and I am thankful for the knowledge and abilities I acquired during this time.
Time is money in any profession and in legal it's most of all. How do you ensure to make the best of your time as a lawyer?
Every minute of my time is valuable, and I make the most of it by dedicating myself to both studying and working.
