If you read our cover article this month, you learned all about Patrick’s good friend, Brad Colton. Over this past summer and during the holiday season, we were lucky enough to have Brad’s daughter, Abby, join our team as a legal intern. She greatly impressed us with her work ethic and dedication, so we hope to bring her back again this summer while she prepares to start her senior year at the University of Connecticut. When Abby joined our team, she had little experience with the legal field. She’s majoring in finance and knows she will one day work in an office setting, which led her to an intern position at our office. We were glad to provide her with the experience, and she learned much about the legal field while working with us. She even took a business law class during her junior year because she enjoyed working at our firm. BY TAKING STEPS TO REACH HER GOALS Abby Is Building a Brighter Future

Abby worked diligently at building relationships with clients and coworkers during her internship. She wasn’t sure what to expect on her first day but was glad to find such a welcoming culture with us. She loved seeing how much work her coworkers put into their jobs and felt everyone was committed to helping our clients with their legal needs. She also learned more about people, relationships, and how businesses function by helping our clients.

Instead, she wants to build meaningful relationships and cultivate a solid work-life balance. With her hard work, dedication, and consistency, we know she will succeed in her career path.
