When Kelly and Betsy left their respective firms to start their own two-person practice, they had no formal business plan, no seeder loans, and only an idea of what they wanted to create. They did however, have a reputation for excellence, expertise and efficiency. It wasn’t long before their network of clients expanded beyond the capacity of any two-person team. Six months after founding Stotler Hayes, Kelly and Betsy hired their first associate. Since then, the firm has continued to grow and now includes over 50 full-time employees, including 28 attorneys practicing in over 33 states.
Betsy and Kelly believe in combining their passion for the practice of law with a zest for living life and they have instilled this belief as a guiding principle of our firm culture.
We are honoring our amazing employees today by sharing their perspective on what makes SHG a Great Place to work!
