Firm: Taylor & Taylor Law Firm, PA
Practice Areas: Appeals
As a child, I dreamed of becoming a professional hula dancer. When job opportunities in that field proved scarce in Arkansas, I turned my attention toward law school, where I was able to put my ability to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in Latin to absolutely no use. In addition to speaking Spanish, I do pretty decent French and Russian accents, which, again, I am able to put to absolutely no use as a lawyer.. I was fortunate enough to luck into a clerkship at my current firm while in law school, and like a bad penny, I just kept showing up until they hired me full time. Although I never expected to become a litigator (I was always taking the transactional classes in school), I enjoy the challenge that comes from solving actual client problems instead of looking to avoid potential ones. I've come to appreciate the creativity necessary in creating winning trial strategies and the utility of alternative dispute resolution.. When I'm not in the office, I'm spamming my Instagram feed with photos of my dogs, Lilly and Winnie, traveling around the state looking for antiques, and spending time with my family. Sometimes I'm doing all three at once.
