“A significant factor in my choice to join Marshall Melhorn was the concentration of female attorneys. The experience of balancing work and family permeates the firm’s culture and is a clear differentiator. Equally valuable is our commitment to diversity. It’s refreshing to be a part of a large group of women who break the stereotype that we think alike because of our gender.” – Marci Klumb
