Before law school, Brittany was a paralegal for Petrillo and Goldberg where she worked directly with clients and attorneys managing motor vehicle and premises liability matters. She taught English as a second language in Spain through a teaching grant awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Education.
Brittany's academic, career, and life experiences before rejoining Petrillo and Goldberg as a licensed attorney demonstrate her deep desire to advocate for the "underdog" and overcome legal barriers for clients to achieve fairness and justice in their individual cases. She is an effective advocate in and out of the courtroom, and she understands how a single accident can present multiple health and legal challenges.
Brittany Petrillo, Paralegal, Public Relations Specialist, and Bookkeeping Assistant, recalls her first day at Petrillo & Goldberg Law: "It was a bright summer morning, sunlight streaming through the blinds, birds chirping from outside the window, when I awoke abruptly to my father pounding on my bedroom door, insisting that I come in the office and fill in for secretaries on vacation." Thus, at the age of 14, her career at Petrillo & Goldberg had begun. As she learned the ropes of the law firm, Brittany quickly grew to love the law and legal system. "I am truly fortunate to have essentially ‘grown up' at Petrillo and Goldberg," she explains. "I've been able to experience firsthand what it means to be an advocate and to work for justice."
Brittany recently graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Templeton Honors College of Eastern University with a BA in History. She will be leaving the firm for a year to accept a position in Malaga, Spain as an English teacher within the Government of Spain's Ministry of Education. Upon returning to the United States, she plans to attend law school and earn her JD.
