Shelby L. Nugent

I chose to work in the field of liability defense because I enjoy working with people and ensuring that they are protected during litigation. I cannot imagine the stress a person feels when they are faced with litigation, and I strive to be there every step of the way to eliminate any feelings of fear. I earned my J.D. from Roger Williams University School of Law in Rhode Island. While in law school I served on the honor board, and I participated significantly in the international student community. I worked for several years at a Family Law firm in Rhode Island before moving to Arizona and have been exposed to client relations as well as the litigation system as a whole. I am constantly seeking new opportunities that will help me practice law.

Prior to attending law school, I grew up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and moved to the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic at the start of my second year of law school. When I am not working, I am with my family or my dog Bo, and usually have a book in my hands. My favorite thing about practicing law is that there is something new to learn every single day.
