Oliva, Saks, Garcia, & Curiel LLP
How did you get your job?
I applied and interviewed for many jobs through CORE, and I was excited to receive an offer from my current employer.
What did you like most about your job?
Primarily, I’ve worked on business litigation cases, but Mr. Kenneth Saks also practices areas like property, torts, and criminal law. I enjoy working in this wide practice area because it allows me to better understand where my true interest in law is. The coffee is nice too.
How do you think this experience has helped you in your career path?
I do not enjoy property law as much as I thought I would. I needed to receive real-world experience in order to make my pivot in law school in what I plan to study in my second and third years.
What was the most surprising thing you learned at your job?
My office is next to the partners and associates at the firm. By leaving my office door open, I am learning how these experienced attorneys talk between each other and their clients. This allowed me to grasp the culture of a firm and how attorneys present themselves.
