I am the proud mother of two children, both of whom are in college. I have been with Strong Law since the opening day on July 15, 1999. I have worked in the workers' compensation and personal injury field since 1988, and bring over 23 years of experience in working with injured clients. My role as manager is to maintain staff operations as well as troubleshooting any problems that may arise. I also assist the attorneys in all aspects of settlements and appeals. I find great satisfaction when I have been able to help someone who has been injured and needs help through the legal system. At Strong Law, this is what we do. We are working lawyers for working people.
