Including a decade as a litigation attorney focused on financial matters for small business owners and self-employed professionals.

Rochelle has a Bachelor’s degree in English literature and a minor in psychology from the University of New Mexico. She completed her Juris Doctor at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State. From there, she launched her consumer rights and small business representation law firm, and eventually opened a separate bankruptcy practice.

Rochelle shifted focus to helping clients solve the same types of challenges using flexible and creative business consulting techniques. She loves the more functional and less formalized approach to achieving client goals quickly and efficiently.
