Experience That Makes the Difference

Licensed to practice law since 2001, Abby brings over two decades of trial experience to every case.

As the wife of an Army combat veteran who served with the 82nd Airborne Division, Abby understands the value of service and sacrifice. She views defending constitutional rights as her own form of service to the community and country.
