Open Message to Clients & Referrals:
Hello! Hope this finds you well. It is hard to believe, but I have been practicing law now for more than 35 years. I want to thank you for your kindness and consideration and to express my appreciation for the confidence and trust that my clients & referrals have placed in me. I love the practice of law which I consider to be an honor and a privilege. I intend to continue for as long as I am able to provide the highest quality of care and service.
I'm not sure if I ever told you that I was recognized as a "Leader in the Law" at a ceremony held at the annual meeting of Florida Bar in 2010. The purpose of the award was to recognize women lawyers across the state who have made impacts in their communities through their legal service and community activities. Over the years, I have enjoyed receiving a number of awards; but I am particularly proud of that designation as I was the first Hillsborough County attorney to receive this statewide recognition.
I've also received the Friend of HAWL Award, which is intended to recognize a person or entity who has faithfully demonstrated a commitment to the Hillsborough Association for Women Lawyers; the Outstanding Mentor Award; and most recently, I've been honored by Martindale-Hubbell, Lawyers.com and Avvo with the highest ratings for both skill and integrity.
However, by far the most exciting award I received was in 2014, the Hillsborough County’s Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Court honored me with a Professionalism Award - the first that has ever been awarded! The nomination criteria included, "an attorney who has consistently demonstrated honesty, integrity, fairness, courtesy, ... and who has earned the highest respect among local lawyers and judges for his or her commitment to professionalism."
For this award, I received a unanimous nomination by the Hillsborough Association for Women Lawyers and was unanimously selected by the Judicial Circuit Court’s Professionalism Committee after due consideration of many other worthy candidates. With more than a little fanfare, they surprised me with the award presentation at the annual Bench Bar Membership Luncheon which was attended by about 500 lawyers and judges. I was totally over-whelmed! It was an amazing experience for me; but I want you to know that the most meaningful part of the celebration of this award is sharing the news with you. I am so very grateful for your friendship and support.
The last bit of news I want to share is that I have a new office location. My addresses are on the contact page. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about these locations.
It would be my pleasure to help you in any way I could in the future so please feel free let me know if an opportunity ever presents itself. Please accept my warmest wishes to you and yours for all the best!
