Becca is a thoughtful and thorough advocate who brings a practical, down-to-earth style to helping clients resolve complex legal matters. In her practice, she represents renewable energy developers, health-care providers, food growers, small businesses, nonprofits, citizens' groups, and individuals in civil, regulatory, and permitting proceedings.

Along with the other lawyers in the firm, Becca takes pride in helping clients whose values she shares. Her own commitment to public-interest work is reflected in her affordable housing practice, where she is currently representing a homeowner in potentially precedent-setting litigation on the fair taxation of property purchased through subsidies provided by community land trusts.

Becca also brings passion and an innovative legal approach to her representation of clients in civil rights cases, including her recent defense of a client in a challenging free-speech case heard in Vermont's Federal District Court, which involved application of Vermont's new anti-SLAPP legislation and resulted in a settlement. In addition to federal court, Becca regularly argues matters in civil venues as well as before the Vermont Public Service Board and other state regulatory commissions.

Becca joined the firm in 2006 after clerking at the Vermont Supreme Court for Chief Justice Paul L. Reiber and previously with several judges in Vermont’s trial courts. Before law school, she worked at a residential mental-health treatment facility, served as a volunteer to help people seeking political asylum in California, and worked for an international development group in Washington, D.C.
