Throughout March, we’re highlighting the voices of our female attorneys, sharing the women who inspire them, the lessons they’ve learned, and the quotes that motivate them.
As we wrap up our series, we feature Elissa Boyd, Partner in our Pacific Northwest offices.
What is the best lesson a woman taught you?
I have been extremely lucky through my work life, educational life and personal life to be surrounded by strong, supportive woman. Similar to many others, the person I admire the most is my own mother. My mom was a stay-at-home mom who never once let anyone tell her she was “less than”. My mom said, “My job is to make sure this house runs and raise my children.” My mom loved her job. The lesson in this for me was that perspective is a powerful thing and as a lawyer, this has helped me countless times with both clients and opponents.
