Bio
Katherine MacElhiney J.D.
Violeta brings a unique sensitivity, strength, and passion to her work, and is truly a boon to our firm. She has grown as quickly as our business has, and adapts eagerly to take on new responsibilities and situations with energy and meticulous care. She has proved herself to be an excellent legal writer, translator, and law clerk. In dealing with our clients and potential clients, she is compassionate, confident, and consultative in a way that puts people (who are in sometimes tough situations) at ease. Upon finishing her JD I have no doubt she will be an attorney of great quality and candor.
