Welcoming Back!
After a summer spent deep in outlines, flashcards, and caffeine-fueled study sessions, we’re thrilled to welcome back Stacey Voss and Bailey Morrell! These two tackled the bar exam head-on, and while we all eagerly await their results, we’re excited to have them back in the office bringing their sharp minds, fresh perspectives, and familiar energy. We’re proud of all the hard work they’ve put in and can’t wait to see what’s ahead for them in this next chapter!
