I came to PK Law as a mother of three young children then quickly added my fourth and never did I feel that this was ever a disadvantage to me.  To the contrary, the leadership at PK Law supported me and encouraged me to embrace my role as a woman and mother, allowing me to grow and develop fully as a lawyer and leader within our firm.  This support has been instrumental in forming me into the lawyer I am today and helping me to accomplish my career goals.

We are incredibly grateful to these firms for their leadership in addressing this challenge. Our profession has talked about the importance of increasing diversity for years. This new collaboration is a significant step toward achieving that goal here in Maryland. I hope every law firm in the state will join us.
