"Our graduates leave this institution ready to do and invest in their communities. They are doers, they don’t sit back. They are initiators. I think that’s who Gators are. If you want to become a part of that community, you should strongly consider coming to the University of Florida."

Former extern with the City Attorney’s Office of North Miami Beach (JD 19)

"Today, when I read or hear the phrase Gator Nation, I don’t think of buzzwords or even my own career. All I feel is a profound sense of pride, that to walk through these halls is an honor. I think of the day that I too may join in the rich legacy of the University of Florida Levin College of Law. And, as they did before me, I also will give back to the law school that offered me this great privilege. Thanks to our alumni, UF Law can continue its rise in the rankings and towards becoming one of the best public law schools in the country."

"Some of my closest friends went to UF undergrad and UF Law. We have a whole team of double Gators that have managed to maintain a relationship for over 40 years. They are ones that I seek advice from - who I get business from. Some are clients. Some are friends. Some of my best friends are Gators."
