Meet the man behind the lawyer.

What profession did you want to have when you were a child?

As a child I wanted to be a journalist, ever since I was a boy I loved reading newspapers. In fact one of my first trials while I was still a trainee was to defend a journalist that I used to read as a kid.

 What is your greatest memory from school?

Two actually. My first kiss and playing football every day.

 Do you have a nick name? What’s the story behind it?

With a name as Domingos people did not felt the need to nickname me. Eventually different variations of the same word as Sundays or Dimanches.

 Who is your hero and how did he leave a mark on you?

As a wannabe pro/am tennis player, I grew watching André Agassi playing, and I was always amazed with the style, irreverence and proficiency he played. He was always losing against his nemesis Pete Sampras, but whenever he won it seemed he had just carried out an herculean task, and I was mesmerized by his resilience in those games. The fact that he married Steffi Graf was also a plus there.

 If you were given a genius in a lamp, what wishes would you ask for?

Please, please genius teach me how to play the guitar.

 If you could have a super power, which one would you choose?

This is easy, the ability to be ubiquitous could really come in handy.

 Name two of your guilty pleasures?

Mini Coca-Cola bottles candies and Lemon PEZ. If I see them, I eat them. 

 What’s THE dream?

In the words of the great poet Robert Allen Zimmerman

May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay
May you stay forever young

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift

May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
And may you stay
May you stay forever young
