Kelly Armstrong was working for a large international corporation that sold construction supplies on her way to becoming a sales super–star when she made a decision to change careers.

"I know it sounds cliché, but I wanted a career where I could help people in need," she says.

That realization led to a law degree in a practice area that she finds immensely satisfying: helping traumatically injured clients be fairly compensated for the harm they suffered.

After graduating from law school in May 2009, Kelly joined Romanucci & Blandin, LLC, as an intern and was offered a position as associate attorney in spring 2010. She grabbed at the chance to fulfill her dream.

Kelly is experienced in the litigation of personal injury cases, including medical malpractice, products liability, nursing–home negligence, premises liability and construction injury.
