Leah’s professional path began with nearly two decades of service in the United States Air Force.

“Advocating for people, particularly in the types of law we practice, requires compassion. And this is where I believe my experience and legal knowledge can have the greatest positive impact.”

Her approach emphasizes careful preparation, thoughtful analysis, and clear communication, particularly in cases involving complex medical or administrative issues. She draws on her experience working within large systems to help clients navigate insurance processes and other procedural challenges.
