“It is important for every person to have an advocate who, while empathetic, is honest and straight forward. I believe that as an advocate for my client, it is my responsibility to find solutions to meet my client’s legal as well as personal goals.” Being a part of the Hargrave Family Law team allows Misty to support clients in a compassionate and intentional way. “It is refreshing to be part of a team that helps our clients focus on their future with hope. I consider it an honor to be a part of our clients’ journey.”
