Background & Personal Life
Valerie’s passion for the law was instilled in her at a young age, and that passion only grew over time. Her father read the U.S. Constitution to her at bedtime, and her college track coach was a lawyer. “The intensity of our practice was determined by how well things went in court,” Valerie said.
Valerie has a master’s degree in legal studies from Webster University and a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville. She is an NCAA All-American in Track & Field.
“Hard work is a MUST in the legal field. The most rewarding aspect of my job is when our cases are successfully litigated and clients are satisfied with their awards.”
