HAVE YOU PREPARED A WILL OR ESTATE PLAN? GRAFTON FIRM CAN HELP. CALL NOW FOR A FREE CONSULTATION.

I am a former big firm litigator who set out to start a family-friendly firm. My husband, William Grafton, left his big firm a few years later and joined me. We now offer top notch legal service to the every day family, small business owner, and property owner -- and we do it while still maintaining a good work/life balance. We have two awesome kids (ages 3 and 1) and spend as much time with them as we can.

Before becomming a lawyer, I held my dream job working for the Baltimore Orioles as the Ticket Office Manager. I am still a HUGE Orioles fan and would love to see them in the playoffs again next year.

In my downtime I am an avid reader and a movie buff and will happily debate Oscar nominations with my clients.
