About Marjorie
Biography
I became an attorney to give voice to the voiceless. I saw too many little guys get kicked around by the big guys. I wanted to even the playing field. I have spent the last 18 years doing just that. Every job, every client has given me the experience I need to make sure that the big guys don't have an unfair advantage.
