About Maggy

maggy@shiverhamilton.com

Following the completion of her clerkship, Maggy joined a large international law firm where she worked to defend a corporation facing multiple individual products liability suits as the result of a decertified class action. Additionally, Maggy took on several pro bono cases, including successfully representing the uncle of two unaccompanied immigrant children from Guatemala. Maggy assisted her client in obtaining guardianship of his nieces, the first step in obtaining special immigrant juvenile status for the children.

 

Since graduating from the University of Georgia, Maggy has remained active in the law school’s moot court and mock trial programs, serving as a guest judge as well as a team coach. Maggy also serves as a coach for the Georgia State University Mock Trial Team through the American Mock Trial Association and as a coach for the Westminster Schools’s high school mock trial team through the State Bar of Georgia.

Maggy and her husband, Doug, live in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood of Atlanta.
