Judy Speaks Out!

Why are you passionate about your career choice?
It has provided me with a wonderful life—and an excellent opportunity to give back to those in our community.

What makes Lautze & Lautze an exciting place to work?
We have so many fantastic clients, and I enjoy getting to know as many of them as possible.

Would you describe a “success story” related to client services?
When I entered the doors of Lautze & Lautze more than four decades ago, I committed to working hard and building strong relationships with my peers. Have I succeeded in my mission? The answer is a resounding “yes” and a testament to the Lautze & Lautze difference.

What are you up to when not at the firm helping clients?
I enjoy cooking, reading fiction, traveling to exotic countries, and taking long walks.
