“I’ve worked for both individuals and large companies, but I much prefer working on behalf of individuals affected by others’ negligence. Both in law school and now, I’ve always been driven by the passion to become the lawyer that I’d want to hire for myself if I ever needed legal help. So, I treat my clients and their legal matters as if I was the one in their shoes.”

Prior to that, she worked at a small law firm in a small town in North Carolina that helped individuals with their legal matters. During law school, Kaitlyn worked for the Blanchard Community Law Clinic, which provides free legal services to people who can’t afford it. There, she was very hands-on with handling her clients’ cases.

Born and raised in North Carolina, Kaitlyn is passionate about helping her fellow North Carolinians face their toughest life challenges.

The team was great! They were always there when we needed them, whether it was by text or email. Responses to our questions were very prompt. Hopefully we won't need them again, but we would certainly use them again and refer them to everyone. Thanks to the entire team! ¹
