My name is Courtney McClimon and I’m the Office Manager at Avisen Legal. I graduated from Iowa State University with a Bachelor of Science in Apparel Merchandising, Design and Production, with a secondary major in Consumer Behavior and Marketing. I advanced my education by receiving a post-baccalaureate degree in Paralegal Studies at the Minnesota School of Business.
After working in the fashion industry, I wanted to take the passion I’ve always had for giving people the confidence they needed to make changes in their lives and in the world and apply it in a new way. I saw this as an opportunity to join an industry that I knew would help me continue to make a difference in people’s lives.
Once I received my post-baccalaureate, I worked in personal injury, collection law and family law before eventually joining this team and starting Avisen Legal with them. I still remember the incredible sense of positivity and happiness everyone at the firm had as we were building out the Avisen office. This could have been an enormously stressful situation, but instead we were all so energized with optimism for the company, and that feeling has never changed. Everyone here cares so deeply for their clients and each other. This is the best team I have ever worked for.
I am passionate about giving back, have volunteered with Dress for Success and Special Olympics, and I have helped raise support for ALS research and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. I also sit on the board of a local dance company that specializes in movement rehabilitation.
Outside of work, I love to dance and have been dancing in kitchens since I was three. I started taking ballroom dance lessons and hope to participate in some competitions soon. If I’m not dancing, I’m probably watching a baseball game, playing with my cat Fred (named after Fred Astaire, of course), practicing yoga, or going to a concert. I still have my fashionista in me and follow fashion businesses and trends. Most of all, I always want to get out and try new things.
