Grace grew up in the DMV area and remains a proud Commanders and Nationals fan. She stayed close to home for her undergraduate studies at Virginia Tech (Go Hokies!) before earning her law degree from George Mason University School of Law.

Following law school, Grace clerked for the Honorable Stephen C. Shannon at the Fairfax County Circuit Court, where she gained exposure to a wide range of legal issues and advocacy styles. That experience provided invaluable insight into effective courtroom strategy, judicial decision-making, and how to zealously protect clients’ rights while maintaining the highest level of professionalism.

Grace went on to serve in the public sector at Legal Services of Northern Virginia (LSNV), representing indigent families in complex and often emotionally charged matters. Many of her clients were non-English speakers and survivors of domestic violence, and Grace’s combination of strong advocacy, compassion, and clear communication helped clients achieve favorable outcomes while feeling informed and supported throughout the legal process.

At PJI Law, Grace brings that same dedication and client-centered approach to civil litigation, working to ensure that every client feels heard, prepared, and confident during what can be a stressful time.

Grace lives in Arlington, Virginia, with her husband and their pug, Carl. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling, reading, trying new restaurants, and spending time with friends and family.
