About
- I am a partner and I have been with the firm since 1999
- I specialize in helping people with their workers’ compensation and personal injury claims because I find it personally rewarding to help an injured person get the benefits they deserve, and to hold an insurance company accountable
- I understand that having an injury can be very difficult and I know that insurance companies often do not treat people fairly
- My clients like me because I am passionate about their claims and I don’t give up
- I listen to their concerns and fight with all I have
- They often compare me to a pit bull!
- It is obvious that I enjoy what I do
- The legal process is long and frustrating for most people
- I help by following my conscience, using common sense, and being extremely persistent
- I form strong relationships with my clients and I really care about winning
- If you have been hurt and the insurance company is jerking you around, you want me on your side
- I love seeing the relief on my clients’ faces when they know they can relax and let us do the hard work while they focus on their healing!
- My most rewarding cases have been apparent long shots that were medically complicated or factually difficult
- Ultimately, they were winners when tested at hearing at the Department of Labor or in Superior Court because my clients were honest, hard-working, and deserving
- My pride in my work comes from getting good results and winning cases for my clients
- I come from a very modest background
- My grandfather was a coal miner, my grandmother worked in a manufacturing plant, and I was the first in my family to graduate from college and law school
- I know what it means to work hard and I remember what it is like to live paycheck to paycheck
- Like many of my clients, I have also experienced physical pain
- Although my pain is improved, I know what it is like to live with chronic pain and how hard it is to describe to someone who has never had it before
- Not all attorneys know how it feels to experience that kind of pain or to be poor
- My clients often deal with these tough issues
- It helps that I understand their situations and their stresses
- I work hard to get the best results for them because I care and I want them to have a better life, too
- I have lived in Montpelier for two decades with my husband, who is also an attorney
- I enjoy attending baseball games (Red Sox, Vermont Mountaineers, and our son’s teams) and our daughter’s dance performances
