GET TO KNOW ANDREA!

APPLE TART WITH ROSEMARY AND HONEY SYRUP

While every team member plays a pivotal role in supporting our clients, one person helps us continue to work together like a well- oiled machine. Andrea, our office manager, ensures our firm runs efficiently so that we can successfully help our clients. Andrea had a passion for law long before she found her way to our team. As a teen, she dreamed of becoming a lawyer. Yet, with life’s twists and turns, she instead entered the medical field as an office manager. While she succeeded in her career, an on-the- job injury changed her life. Her neck was seriously injured, and three neurosurgeons informed her that she needed surgery. Like many of our clients, Andrea found herself at odds with a workers’ compensation company that refused to pay for the operation. After hiring an attorney and going to court, a judge determined that the company would have to pay for her surgery. But that wasn’t the end of her headaches. While battling for her compensation, three years passed, and she was left unemployed. Andrea realized that many people had struggled through a similar journey, where others controlled their livelihood and their rightful benefits were withheld. That’s how she ended up here. Today, Andrea helps clients who were once just like her. She has been an exceptional office manager for seven and a half years, working to make our office as strong as possible. We can also always count on Andrea to make us and our clients laugh. Our Office’s Secret to Success

When she’s not in our office, she spends time with her goldador (golden retriever/Labrador) Ollie, short for Oliver Twist. Why Oliver Twist? Her beloved Ollie is a master snack stealer and was originally a shelter pup! She knew Ollie would be coming home with her when she visited the shelter for two fateful reasons. Not only did Ollie look precisely like her last furry friend who she loved dearly, but he also had been given the same name as her brother, Sam. It was destiny.

On the weekends, you can find Andrea swinging away at the golf course or taking Ollie on a scenic walk on the beach or in the woods. The next time you visit our office, say hello to Andrea (especially if you want a good laugh). We’re so glad to have Andrea on our team and couldn’t imagine our office without her.
