She has been able to do what many attorneys can not, which is to use her experience, high academic achievement, appellate background, experience with the Attorney General's office, and ability to communicate effectively with her clients. Although most lawyers are familiar with rules of evidence, rules of procedure and substantive law, few can "put it all together" so that the particulars of a case makes sense to their clients.
