  I was blessed to be hired by the Honorable Ralph Cook in 2015 and re-enter the legal field after a few years of being home with my children and working retail. I also worked with City Attorney Bob Jones and Nicole King. I learned so much about city government and the importance of a strong connection between the citizens and its government. I processed lawsuits, subpoenas and claims entering them into the Citylaw database. During my time, I communicated a great deal with various departments within the City as a result of lawsuits, subpoenas and requests for depositions and meetings. The last two years I was heavily involved in personnel appeals: gathering documents, video and audio evidence for trial and ensuring all was prepared for same. Also communicated with attorneys and public re: claims and prepared estimates and correspondence with regard to denial or settlements of claims.
