    Overview
    Georgia has been in the legal field for over 25 years prior to joining Quinlivan Wexler LLP in 2005, experiencing many areas of law including maritime, family, general business, probate, insurance defense, personal injury, medical malpractice, corporate formations, and estate planning.  Her varied background has made her a great fit with QWLLP where she is our “all-around” paralegal, working with every attorney in every practice area in the firm.

    Outside of work, Georgia enjoys spending time with her husband doing various household projects and likes to plan gatherings for family and friends.  She loves to go to the beach for long walks and to take bicycle rides around the city.  Georgia enjoys the theater and live concerts and enjoys American history, particularly the World War II years.  Georgia prefers to spend vacations traveling to different locales, but her favorite destination is the island of Maui.
