I've had the good fortune to spend nearly four decades working in the legal industry – first as a practicing attorney and then as a legal recruiter. I’ve been a partner with two law firms, a sole practitioner, a general counsel, and a legal aid attorney. My legal career was largely devoted to representing children, primarily students with a wide variety of physical, mental, and emotional impairments. As Legal Advisor for Orange County’s Guardian ad Litem program, I trained, counseled, and supervised Guardian ad Litem attorneys representing abused and neglected children, and I was appointed by the Juvenile Court to personally represent countless children with severe developmental disabilities.As a frequent speaker on education law issues, I presented to The Florida Bar and various organizations serving the needs of individuals with disabilities, and I was a Governor-appointed member of the Human Rights Advocacy Committee for the Developmentally Disabled.After the birth of my twin daughters (I now have three daughters), I left a very demanding law practice to become a legal recruiter, and as a now 20-year veteran of legal recruiting, I’ve been privileged to work with some of the world’s most respected law firms. I take considerable pride in having helped those firms attract, hire, and retain extraordinary talent at all levels, and I am immensely grateful to be able to now spend my days helping other attorneys find genuine fulfillment in their own legal careers.
