Melanie Friend, CowanGates Stephanie Grana, Cantor Grana Buckner Bucci, PC Donation in honor of: Gwen Schockemoehl and Carolyn LavecchiaBoth Gwen and Carolyn encouraged me to join the MRWBA in 1994, following my clerkship. They said that this is a great way to network with other female attorneys, and they were right. It was a long drive from Chesterfield to downtown Richmond for the lunches, but it was worthwhile. Both Carolyn and Gwen were "top notch" med mal lawyers and I learned from them. There were not many women litigators in this field, and they were role models. We had to learn the medicine in order to take on these cases. I have also followed in their footsteps, and my practice focus is med mal, along with catastrophic personal injury, death cases, and sexual assault. Catherine Lemaster, Office of the Attorney General of Virginia | Michele Satterlund, Macaulay Satterlund & Sessa Rachel Yates, Yates Appellate Law Donation in honor of: Leah DarronLeah has been a true friend and mentor over the years. She has given me good advice, when needed. She's been a shoulder to lean on during difficult times. Leah has also never been afraid to be honest. She leads by example: she works hard and diligently and without complaint. I'm so lucky to have her as my friend and to have learned so much from her. |
