Attorney Broadbent was employed at the Tsai Performance Center, where
she worked with clients such as Julia Child, Warren Miller Films, and
HBO to bring performing arts and culture to students at Boston
University.

Law Society. She served as both Vice President of Entertainment and

employed during law school at the Law Office of John A. Klamo, P.C. as
a law clerk, where she actively participated in all aspects of pretrial

that position, she focused on Personal Injury, Civil Litigation, Family
Law (including Divorce, Child Support and Child Custody), Criminal
Defense, and Traffic Defense. In 2008, Attorney Broadbent started Nelson & Broadbent, where she practiced until 2012. In 2013, Attorney Broadbent formed the partnership Broadbent & Taylor, where she is currently a managing partner. Attorney Broadbent values her
