"I actually wanted to work in the arts as a photographer and a videographer. I would watch lawyer movies and think, 'that's not interesting to me at all.'"
"Something clicked for me during a personal injury slip-and-fall trial... the advocacy the lawyers had for their clients."
"I just completed my 59th deposition. I've taken two trials to jury verdict. I have a decent amount of experience for someone in my position."
Rya Nelson, initially interested in the arts, discovered her passion for law through public speaking and advocacy. Inspired by her background and experiences, she now fights for justice as an associate attorney at Gwilliam Ivary Chiosso Cavalli & Brewer. With over ten years of experience, including 59 depositions and two jury trials, Nelson specializes in personal injury, employment, and civil rights law. Her journey reflects a commitment to helping the underserved, stemming from her personal history and early work with refugees.
