I grew up in Champaign, got my undergraduate degree in English and Japanese from the University of Illinois, and spent a few years as an editor before going back to law school. I went back because I wanted to do something more interesting and meaningful with what I had learned. I graduated from the University of Illinois College of Law in 1999.

My first job out of law school was at a small firm in Knoxville, Tennessee. I practiced business law there and had a view of the Tennessee River and the Smoky Mountains I still miss. From there I joined a consulting firm in Chicago, working on reinsurance claims and Superfund site analysis, eventually running the consulting practice. Then I joined Alston + Bird in Atlanta, where I practiced in the securities litigation department. I came back to Illinois, finished a master’s degree in computer science, and moved home to Champaign in 2014 to start my own practice.

My father, Peter Feuille, was a labor arbitrator, mediator, and Director of the University of Illinois School of Labor and Industrial Relations. Working for him during law school shaped my commitment to ethics and fairness in ways that still show up in how I practice today. He also introduced me to the Rolling Stones, which I consider an equally significant contribution.

My mother, Susan, is my paralegal and the person without whom I genuinely could not do what I do. She handles intake, keeps the practice running, and occasionally leads me on an adventure involving English history and old castles. She also happens to be right about almost everything.
