Interview with Angela: 🎙
🔹 What inspired you to pursue a career in law?
I have always been interested in the intellectual side of the law. I am fascinated by the study of law and the ways it shapes our society. Luckily, the practice of law allows me to carry that curiosity into my day-to-day work.
🔹 What area of law are you most passionate about and why?
I spend the majority of my practice helping entities and individuals protect their business interests, whether through actions for breach of contract or business torts. It is greatly rewarding to see these disputes to a resolution and successful path forward for clients.
🔹 What unique skills or experiences do you bring to the firm?
Before joining private practice, I had the opportunity to clerk for a federal judge on the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. The clerkship gave me valuable insight into the decision-making process behind the bench, which I’ve carried into my litigation practice.
🔹 Can you share a memorable case or client success story?
I recently filed a motion to dismiss on behalf of a client, arguing that the other side had no legal basis to maintain its claims. Rather than oppose the motion, the other side conceded and withdrew its claims! I was able to use my knowledge of the law and persuasive argument to save a client from the headache and expense of litigation.
🔹 Outside of work, what are your interests or hobbies?
Golf, Running, Hiking & Crochet
🔹 Lastly, what's one fun fact about yourself that people might not know?
I spent my freshman (plebe) year at the United States Military Academy (West Point) before completing my undergraduate education at Samford University.
