Upon graduating from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, Hannah served as a law clerk on the Arizona Court of Appeals where she gained valuable legal research and writing experience. Hannah went on to join one of Arizona’s oldest and most distinguished law firms where she engaged in a diversified practice that included commercial, real estate, landlord-tenant, creditor’s rights, trademark,
employment, and probate matters. Hannah also gained experience in public pension and disability retirement law serving as independent counsel to state-mandated pension boards for municipal and tribal police, fire, and corrections officers. When Hannah moved to an insurance defense firm to focus more specifically on litigation claims faced by businesses and municipalities, she continued to serve as independent counsel to public safety pension boards throughout Arizona.

Hannah recently returned to North Carolina and her practice at Marcellino and Tyson focuses on employment law and employee benefits. Hannah understands that individuals bringing legal claims are often experiencing stress and uncertainty, and she uses her prior experience working for employers to guide individuals through the claims and litigation process. Hannah enjoys working with individuals and families to resolve legal issues expeditiously and fairly so that everyone can move forward in their lives.

When she is not practicing law, you can find Hannah exploring the Carolinas with her family and serving as a volunteer advocate for children in the foster care system.
