Chelsea has a passion for new experiences that help her see every side of a problem. For her, those experiences include a year in Ireland getting her Master’s degree, working as a civil rights litigator, and clerking for a federal district court judge. Drawing from her various experiences and her desire to always challenge herself, Chelsea has the ability to think through the long-term development of a case in order to find the best resolution. Chelsea believes that nothing that can be done today should be put off until tomorrow, and that is why clients can always expect thorough and honest hard work from Chelsea, no matter the case. When she’s not being a tough advocate for her clients, Chelsea can be found reading her favorite Mississippi authors and serving on the founding board of a non-profit that provides daily meals to children in her hometown.
