Meet Laney

Tell us about yourself!​
​I'm originally from Tampa, Florida, but I went to undergrad at Vanderbilt University and law school at the University of Miami. I took the Florida bar in 2008, and then the Tennessee bar in 2009, and I decided to move back to Tennessee and open up my own firm. I've been here for close to ten years!
What are some of your biggest interests outside of law?
I minored in art history during undergrad, with a concentration on Italian art during the Baroque period, and it turned out to be one of the loves of my life. I actually speak French, and I lived in London for a little while to pursue my art history studies there. I've also always loved animals. I originally considered becoming a vet before I made the decision to go to law school. During law school, I worked at a zoo in Miami and helped raise baby orangutans! Ultimately, I became a pet mom as well as a lawyer. 
Tell us about your pets!
I have a black lab named Quigley, and four cats: Roxie, Yoda, Coco, and Monroe. They like to come hang out and chill at the office sometimes; they're very friendly!
What do you love about the Nashville area? 
I love that it's a big city that still feels like a small town. It has plenty to offer, and the people are very warm and welcoming.
