Ivan credits his mother, a retired judge in Colombia, as a major influence of his. As a teenager, he aspired to become a judge after discovering a love for seeking the truth and fighting injustice. He attended Universidad Santo Tomás and received a bachelor’s degree in law back in 2014. Furthering his higher education, he received a master’s in law from Universidad Externado de Colombia with an emphasis in civil and state liability law. After earning his degrees, he still felt something was missing and wanted to broaden his experience, and ultimately wished for a new challenge.
After nine years spent studying law in Colombia, Ivan took upon his new challenge and decided to work for a law firm in the United States. Although he has extensive experience in Colombia, working in the U.S. is basically a new beginning for him. One of his main goals is striving to help make life easier for his clients. Ivan finds it rewarding to thoroughly listen to his client’s issues and help make a change within stressful situations. He never fails to bring positivity into a situation, always with a smile on his face.
Aside from his passion for law, Ivan’s also a huge sports fan. He loves watching basketball, specifically following the Dallas Mavericks. Not only is he just a fan watching the screen, but he also plays basketball once or twice a week. Other interests of his include playing video games and reading Marvel comic books.
