She is admitted to practice in all Georgia, New York, and California State Courts and all corresponding Federal courts. She regularly appears on TV where she comments on high profile cases. She has appeared on The O’Reilly Factor, Nancy Grace, Fox News’ Studio B and The Line Up, among others. She has also appeared on all of the Atlanta local television news programs in relation to her representation of one of her clients.

She earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Delaware where she majored in Criminal Justice and was also recognized by the Dean of Students for her outstanding academic record.

Ms. Strickler represents clients charged for ANY criminal offense at the federal or state level. She also oversees and coordinates the pre-accusation/pre-indictment investigation work on the law firm's criminal cases. This work involves painstaking attention to detail and constitutes a critical, pro-active approach to criminal defense work. She often succeeds in getting her cases dismissed prior to charges being formally brought against her clients. Ms. Strickler has successfully resolved over a thousand criminal cases and is fast becoming one of the most successful trial lawyers in the country. In fact, she was recently named a Super Lawyer - Rising Star by Atlanta Magazine.

"The best thing we can do for a client is to get their case dismissed before an indictment or accusation is ever drafted by the prosecutor," explains Ms. Strickler. "If we can succeed in resolving the matter early, we can save the client the pain and stress of having to appear in court under the cloud of indictment or accusation. The teamwork approach at Conaway, Strickler, & Margolis, P.C., helps to make this possible."

Ms. Strickler is currently an adjunct professor for Emory Law School's Kessler-Eidsen Institute for Trial Advocacy, where she instructs law school students in the art of case preparation and trial advocacy.
