Before he was an attorney, Jules Szanto spent his time teaching English in Central and South America. Not only did this perfect his fluency in Spanish, this taught him to appreciate the rewarding feeling of interacting with and helping people as well as being in the position to do so. Through these experiences he knew he was capable of aiding people in more ways than just teaching English. Having seen so many economic and social injustices, he decided to return to the United States and pursue a legal education and a career in the practice of law.
