While attending NSU she was a member of the Pom Squad and of Tri-Sigma sorority.

Alli graduated from Northeastern in December of 2018. Between graduation from undergrad and beginning law school Alli worked for Edwards and Patterson Law Firm as a legal assistant where she got hands-on experience helping clients and growing her knowledge of the law.

In August of 2019, she began law school at Oklahoma City University School of Law. While at OCU Alli worked in the Oklahoma Innocence project helping clients who had been wrongfully convicted of crimes in Oklahoma.

Two major cases that she has worked on since coming to the firm include a car accident case involving a commercial vehicle which resulted in a client’s traumatic brain injury and a wrongful death car accident involving our client being hit by an impaired driver. Both cases were resolved with significant, confidential settlements.
