About

Hi, I’m Judy. I’ve been working in the legal field, in one way or another, for more than three decades. I enjoy helping others learn about the legal system and their rights and obligations, whether in the civil or criminal law realm. 

Although I’ve practiced in a variety of areas, I concentrate in regulatory and health care law.

Lawyers need to listen to their clients. It’s a collaborative process, and I enjoy the back and forth that comes with helping a client.

I began my career as a prisoners’ rights attorney. There’s great satisfaction in serving the underserved and wrongly accused. A highlight for me was my first oral argument at the Vermont Supreme Court, arguing against the Attorney General on a jurisdictional case. And obtaining a ruling in my client’s favor.

I am concise and direct with clients, and try to explain things clearly.  Keep it simple, and clear.

Why practice law

After college, but before I had chosen what I wanted to be when I grew up (it’s been a long journey!), I volunteered on a few community projects and events. Several of the people I worked closely with, and who impressed me, were lawyers. I saw that the legal field holds many possibilities.

Fun fact

I enjoy camping with my dogs at the state parks in my vintage camper.
