“I saw our firm continuing to violate our core value of customer focus with the amount of management responsibilities I had taken on. I needed someone to take over the management role for the benefit of our friends, which are our clients.” Jill joins the firm with 19 years of comprehensive experience within the legal sector. She formerly managed a firm of 80 people and will become Sivia Law’s 20th full-time employee.

In addition, O’Connell’s personality is a perfect fit for this position. She is a goal-oriented, personable professional who is committed to improving talent acquisition and increasing organizational effectiveness.
Attorney Todd Sivia added: “We are very excited to add Jill to our team and I am confident that this role being filled will take our firm to the next level in 2022.” “This will allow me to return to being able to continue to cast the vision of the firm and work as a practicing attorney.”
