Nancy has been a public defender for over 20 years. She was a trial and appellate attorney in our state office and worked as research and writing attorney and trial attorney in the federal office. In her roles in each office, Nancy zealously represented our clients in a myriad of types of cases; including a few of our capital trials. Most recently, in addition to maintaining a full case load, Nancy served with distinction as our Training Supervisor. In that role she implemented an onboarding program for our new attorneys and developed our CJA training seminars, training programs for the newly appointed CJA panel members, as well as activities to connect our office to the CJA panel members. Jen C. and I look forward to working with Nancy in her capacity as Chief as she continues to serve the Trial Unit and our clients.
