I’m an attorney and founding partner of Vann & Chamberlain. As a 2009 graduate of Texas Wesleyan Law School in Fort Worth, Texas, I began working for a bankruptcy law firm.  Several years later, I decided to take the plunge and head north to Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Shortly after gaining admittance to the Wisconsin Bar, I felt a desire to give back to my new community and sought employment with Legal Action of Wisconsin doing non-profit legal work. During my time at Legal Action, I was able to obtain the knowledge and nuances of Social Security Disability Law, and I saw how this law truly helps those who cannot work due to mental or physical disabilities.

“This position led to me to where I am now at Vann and Chamberlain – being able to help people get a fresh start and have stability.”

I am a member of the State Bar of Wisconsin and admitted to both the Eastern and Western Federal Districts of Wisconsin. Although I initially obtained my law license in the State of Texas, I practice solely in Wisconsin. Go Pack Go!

When I am not advocating for the needs of my clients, you can find me reading, going on adventures, and taking walks.
