Her work includes advocating for hundreds of childhood sexual abuse survivors across multiple states, including Maryland and Illinois.

Her experience spans both sides of the courtroom, giving her a rare, balanced perspective in high-stakes litigation.

Kerri now draws upon this breadth of trauma-informed representation to advocate for survivors of institutional abuse nationwide.
