TJ also has experience representing businesses and governmental entities in environmental law issues including property contamination and air quality.

She loves that her work allows her to feel passionate and purposeful every day, and provides her with the opportunity to play a strategic role in closing transactions that will make a positive impact on the environment and the world.
