General Practice
Summer has done many different things in her more than 10 years of practicing law: environmental work, land use work, general business disputes, products litigation, and even a hefty dose of family law. She very much enjoys learning new areas of the law, and zealously devotes herself to identifying all the nuances of anything new she comes across. That said, some areas of the law really require a specialist, and Summer knows and admits her limits. So if you have a matter that doesn’t really look like something she can handle, give her a call and see what she thinks. If she thinks she can help you, she’ll say so. And, if she thinks she can’t help you, she will do her best to find someone who can.
