“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.
