JILL
Hi, I’m Jill. I’m a Midwestern transplant from St. Louis, Missouri. I am a sewist, a bookworm, a creative seeker of random adventure, wife of a High Quality Human, baker and eater of all the things. I love cake, community, coffee, and this work.
I’ve spent most of my legal career in California. I started my west coast journey in San Jose at Rehon & Roberts, with some of the finest real estate and banking lawyers in the area. After moving to Oakland, I worked at the Hanson Law firm with Christopher Hanson, who remains one of the most tenacious and creative lawyers I know. I have Philip M. Andersen & Associates to thank for my in-courtroom trial training and first-chair trial experience.
Some of the things I’ve done to get ready to be my best for you:
-
University of Missouri-Columbia School of Law, graduated top 1/3rd rank
-
NITA trial training
-
SEEDS Community Resolution Mediation Training
-
First-chair and second-chair trial experience
-
