Summary

Law graduate from Mexico, with a strong professional ethic and a hard-working attitude, able to help effectively with passion and dedication to justice to achieve excellent results in the legal field. I also have a Masters in Law. I understand that in the Legal System of each country there are different laws, for this reason, I decided to also prepare myself to understand the Legal System of the United States of America, for which I also have Paralegal Studies. Finally, I have had the pleasure of attending and taking several other courses on the U.S. Legal System, which have allowed me to acquire a greater knowledge on important topics of the U.S. Laws. Qualified, professional and eager to provide quality support in the next legal environment I join.
