Genevieve started her legal career at a boutique litigation firm in New York City, Selendy Gay PLLC, where she focused on plaintiffs’ side impact and class action litigation related to deceptive financial practices, affordable housing, and healthcare access. Subsequently, Genevieve clerked for the Honorable Fern Flanagan Saddler and the Honorable Darlene M. Soltys at the District of Columbia Superior Court.
After clerking, Genevieve chose to pursue her passion for civil rights advocacy as a Supervising Attorney and Teaching Fellow in Georgetown University Law Center’s Civil Rights Clinic. At the clinic, she successfully litigated cases on behalf of individuals experiencing retaliation and discrimination in a variety of settings, including in employment, education, housing, and in access to public facilities and accommodations. She also focused on representing individuals who had been the victims of police brutality and misconduct or who experienced excessive force or the denial of needed medical care in jails and prisons. In her role as a teaching fellow, Genevieve taught weekly seminars to aspiring civil rights lawyers on litigation skills and trauma-informed lawyering.
