When I was young, I wanted to work at the mall. But my mother wanted me to have work experience that was a little more professional, and I’m glad she did. She had a friend who was a real estate attorney, and the experience of working there set the trajectory of my career. The firm helped clients who were buying or selling real estate. I could see how everyone, the client, attorneys, and even support staff,

On a baking sheet, place puff pastry hearts and bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown. 3. In a standing mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed for 2–3 minutes.

were working together to help the client achieve their goals. In estate law, my area of expertise, we also work together toward a common goal. I became an official part of the Dellutri team on Jan. 1, and I feel like I’ve found my professional home. The culture of the firm resonated with me. We are client-driven here, prioritizing the service of our clients above all else. Feelings of camaraderie extend through all of our divisions. For example, if a client has estate issues while dealing with a bankruptcy, our bankruptcy and estate divisions will collaborate and work in unison. This is important because what happens with one case may affect the other. The integrated approach ensures all the pieces fall into place for our client. The cases I find most fulfilling are those where I can be involved from start to finish. From setting up the estate plan to guiding clients through probate and handling closings, these end-to-end experiences allow me to effectively address my client’s needs and see the plans we put in place come to fruition. My clients appreciate my commitment to understanding their goals. It is the first discussion we have when we meet. Their goals set the foundation for any plans we create. Often, a client will come to me with a plan in mind, but as we discuss their needs, I usually see a more straightforward route to their desired results. I’m also known for being a problem solver. Real estate agents send me their most challenging cases because they are confident I can find practical solutions. What’s most important to me is that I feel like I’m providing my clients with strong value — peace of mind; that’s priceless.
