My focus professionally has always been, and continues to be, in the areas of estate planning, estate administration and elder law.  After graduating from Rutgers University School of Law in 2001, I clerked for the Honorable James D. Ciancia in the Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court.  After my clerkship, I joined the law firm Fox Rothschild, in their Philadelphia office, in their Tax and Estates Department.  I also then began the pursuit of my LL.M. degree in Taxation from New York University, which I completed in 2004.. In 2007, I left Fox Rothschild to join my current law partner, Douglas Fendrick, in Voorhees, New Jersey.  Our firm, Fendrick Morgan, practices exclusively in the areas of estate planning, estate administration and elder law.. Personally, I reside in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, with my husband and our two young children.
