We asked Denaa to share a little about herself in our Member Spotlight:
What drew you to the practice of law and to a litigation and trial practice?
Initially, it was to equip myself to help others and to make a difference. I stayed because trial work is for people like me – people who know how to tell an engaging story, step by step.
What are your future goals and aspirations for your for career?
To participate in more trial work. I love assisting small businesses and business owners in mitigating risk, both pretrial and during trial. It makes a world of difference to them and might mean the difference between continuing to operate their business and declaring bankruptcy.
What are you reading or listening to?
Everything and (almost!) anything. I love discovering new artists, sounds, and writings!
What would be the theme song of your life right now?
Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N’ Roses closely followed by Plastic off the Sofa by Beyonce.
Describe your perfect day outside of work.
A day where time stays the social construct that it was supposed to be. Wake up without an alarm clock to grab iced coffee and go for a (mild) hike without headphones to ground myself. The hike would be followed by a day of pampering and reading. No cleaning allowed.
Say Hello and connect with Denaa!
