Overview
Micayla understands that effective advocacy lies in the ability to translate complex legal issues into clear, persuasive narratives that resonate with decision-makers.
As an associate in Dorsey’s trial group, Micayla leverages her background in fundraising and marketing to develop strategic legal arguments that help her clients present their cases with clarity, precision, and integrity at all stages of litigation.
During law school, Micayla served as Editor-in-Chief of the University of St. Thomas Law Journal and represented incarcerated clients by filing commutations petitions and reforming clemency policy. She also honed her ability to distill complex legal matters into winning strategies while interning with two judges at the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota and with the Office of the General Counsel at National Public Radio.
