Norton & Ingersoll, P.C.

 

Prior to opening this firm with my partner Kristen Ingersoll, I was a partner at Beyers | Costin PC, and before that, with Lanahan & Reilley LLP for several years.  

 

During law school, I completed a portion of my studies in Rome, Italy. Also at that time, I clerked for the Honorable John R. Padova, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. I have also previously clerked in both the General Counsel’s Office for Temple University, and the General Counsel’s Office for the National Security Agency.

 

Prior to attending law school, I served on active duty in the United States Air Force for 5 1/2 years as an intelligence analyst, and am currently a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Air Force Reserve, serving as a liaison office for the US Air Force Academy and AFROTC.
