GRACIA & MINTZ
“My story is one of hard work, determination, and an all encompassing fear of failure. I took that energy and channeled it into every decision that I have made for as long as I can remember. I may not be able to guarantee that I can win every case in court, but I promised myself a long time ago that I would win every opportunity in life.”
-Erick P. Gracia
