" As a miracle child-grateful for my life I believe God has a purpose for each oneof us. All my life I have tried to do what comes easy for me but very difficult for others, that is, representing the poor, the working class and the person unjustly accused or unjustly convicted. In doing so I have fought a lot of corruption alongthe way. In my practice of over 33 years I have been successful in overturningmany convictions where people have been incarcerated and many where others are being deported to Mexico due to careless inexperienced lawyers.

No matter the outcome of this campaign I thank you all my friendseverywhere, my family and caring supporters, and above all I thank God. "
