It’s time for another AVA Spotlight! This time our spotlight has scanned the skies and landed on a vital AVA Team member-Cherokee Debuff, Legal Assistant. Cherokee is located in AVA’s Billings office, she brings a can-do assertive attitude to the office, but we would be remiss if we didn’t mention how very fun she is. Cherokee can always be counted on for any client or team need, but without her vivacious energy, we are certain the AVA office would be lacking its light. We talked with Cherokee in between her daily legal battles and this is what she shared:

How long have you been with AVA?
I have been with AVA for 6 months going on forever.
What an awesome win for our clients. Cherokee brings a special fire to all of her client interactions, we can’t say it enough, guess you will have to see for yourself!
Is or was your dream to be a lawyer?
If not, what was it and how did you land here?
I graduated from Montana State Bozeman with a bachelor's degree in Community Health focusing on working in healthcare administration. After two years of doing that out of college, I found myself to be bored and lacking passion. When I joined AVA I fell in love with their motto and the drive they have to help all of our clients and knew that I wanted to be a part of something greater. I went back to school and got my certification in Paralegal Studies and have enjoyed the process of expanding my knowledge in this field. I can't wait to continue to learn here and grow with the company!
Favorite part of your current role?
My favorite part of my current role is talking to our Camp Lejeune clients. Both my grandma and grandpa were Marines and stationed at Camp Lejeune, so this lawsuit holds a lot of passion for me. I have watched my family suffer from the effects of Toxic Water and I want justice as badly as our clients do. While I wouldn't wish anyone to go through what my grandparents have, it has helped me connect and form deeper connections with our clients.
Favorite Hobby?
My favorite hobbies are taking my dog on walks, golfing, and being outside in general! When the shifting Montana weather allows for it of course!

If you could be a superhero or have a superpower what or whom would it be?
If I could have a superpower I would want to teleport!
AVA Law Group is grateful to have Cherokee join our fight against the injustices that have harmed our clients.
She definitely aids in the odds moving in our favor, and it’s the superhero team members like Cherokee that set AVA Law Group apart from “the other guys.” Don’t take our word for it, see what our clients say on Google reviews. If you're lucky enough to encounter Cherokee, take notes- this hero's passion for client justice is unmatched!
