For Brittany Robb, the best moments of her career as a lawyer involve sharing good news with clients.

“It is a privilege to represent people during the hardest times of their lives,” she says. “I am often talking to them about their worst memories or the worst day of their lives. To be able to share good news is so rewarding, whether it is the ultimate resolution of the case or the interim victories along the way. To help bring closure and justice is truly an honor.”

During her career up to this point, Robb has learned a lot about how to succeed in the practice of law. When talking with young attorneys, she recommends they take advantage of every opportunity to further their advocacy skills: “Ask for the work you want, and it will be given to you.”

She says that it is beyond fulfilling to have her work help people and impact their lives in a positive way.

“It is a wonderful feeling to be able to combine your passion and your skill and call it ‘work,’” she says.

What is your biggest accomplishment this year?

My husband and I welcomed our first child in May. I’d have to say that it’s becoming parents together while also continuing to work together during a very busy time in our practice.

What inspired you to get involved in the legal profession?

I have always enjoyed helping people. I also love reading, writing and talking to people. The legal profession offered me a way to do all those things.
