Ms. Duffy received her J.D. cum laude from Northern Illinois University a semester early and sat for the February bar exam.

Subsequently, Erin worked at a residential real estate law firm, for the federal government, and for a general practitioner before finding her passion for employment and disability law. Working for the Social Security Administration allowed Erin to fine-tune her skills as a legal and technical writer, as her position involved drafting Administrative Law Judge decisions.
