I began my career in affordable housing as legal counsel at a nonprofit affordable housing developer. When I researched legal issues or attended industry conferences, it seemed like a Klein Hornig lawyer was always an authority on any affordable housing topic I was pursuing.  I’m so grateful to now serve developer clients at KH, and I’m proud to be a part of this outstanding team of attorneys.
