A Little More About Us

Purpose
Our purpose is to raise the bar for what “best practices” truly mean within the legal services community. We are committed to establishing clear, ethical, and principled standards that guide how vendors serve trial lawyers and, most importantly, their clients. By championing transparency, accountability, and integrity in every interaction, we aim to elevate the quality of services delivered across the legal ecosystem.

These standards are designed not only to protect and empower law firms, but to enhance outcomes for the individuals they represent. Through ethical alignment and operational excellence, we help distinguish our members as trusted partners-vendors who prioritize long-term value over short-term gain, and client success over convenience. In doing so, we seek to earn and uphold the confidence of trial lawyers who demand professionalism, reliability, and unwavering ethical commitment from the partners they choose.

Vision
Our vision is to build a collaborative, best-in-class network of the legal industry’s most knowledgeable, experienced, and principled vendors—guided by an esteemed advisory board of trial lawyers who bring real-world insight, accountability, and leadership to the vendor community. This advisory board serves as a critical compass, helping ensure that vendor practices align with what truly serves law firms, their clients, and the broader pursuit of justice.

Through this lawyer-led guidance, we promote trusted, tested, and ethically sound best practices that move beyond theory and into real-world application. Together, vendors and trial lawyers work in partnership to define, recognize, and uphold a clear standard for what it means to be “Best in Class.” The result is a network built on credibility, transparency, and trust—one that trial lawyers can rely on with confidence, knowing its members are committed to doing the right thing for law firms and the clients they represent.

With a career spanning nearly two decades in the legal industry, I began my journey in 2007 as a Paralegal.  I immersed myself in the intricacies of law, honing my attention to detail and analytical prowess.  Over the years, I progressed into leadership roles, serving as the Executive Director for two prominent and influential legal associations – Mass Torts Vendor Association and The National ABS Law Firm Association.  Within this dynamic realm, my focus extends beyond traditional roles, encompassing a blend of public relations, sales, and marketing expertise. This multifaceted skill set has not only fueled organizational success but also facilitated meaningful connections within the legal community.  Outside of work, I am a devoted family person, married with three wonderful children who fuels my drive for success.
