1L Representative
Michael Espinoza
I’m a married father of 3, a retired Navy vet and a private pilot. After 21 yrs of working Navy aircraft I wanted to pursue a lifelong dream of actually getting paid to talk too much; so law school it was. Truthfully I’ve always had a passion for the law and am extremely proud to be a Torero!
