“The
conditions of success in life are the possession of
judgment,
experience, initiative and character.”
- Gustave Le Bon
Ms. Washington joined Farmer
Case Hack & Fedor as an associate in 2001. She became a partner
in July 2007. Ms. Washington believes that any person can
be successful in all aspects of life if good judgment is
utilized, all experiences are grasped with enthusiasm, and
initiative is welcomed. Taken together, one builds
character that allows for growth and positive success. As
an attorney, it is Ms. Washington’s goal to use good
judgment by serving her clients with compassion and
integrity. She believes that success in law is most often a
result of recognizing that all experiences can create
positive effects, which in turn can be utilized elsewhere.
Ms. Washington is confident that hard work, high
professional standards and the commitment to continue
learning will build character and, in turn, benefit herself
and her clients well into the future.
