I have been managing partner since approximately 2006, so 10 years. Can you explain how and why you ended up owning this business? "I grew up in my Father, Joseph McDermott’s, Law Firm. I started as a young teen getting coffee and running errands. Mostly just listening and learning. I worked with the firm while in college and in law school. I starting working as an associate Attorney for dad in 1999. In 2001 I became a partner and Lead Trial Attorney for the firm. In 2006 my father handed over the reins of the law firm to me. I have been managing partner ever since. It was such an honor to know my dad was proud of me and trusted me to take over the firm he established so many years ago." | "It was such an honor to know my dad was proud of me and trusted me to take over the firm he established so many years ago." |
What was your passion or greatest motivator? "My passion is my desire to fight for folks that don’t have the resources to fight for themselves, people who have been injured or accused have rights.
