We were told by leadership in the House of Delegates and Senate that it would take 5-7 years to pass the legislation we were seeking. We were able have the Governor sign our law after 3 years of work by Principle Advantage. Once Principle Advantage came on-board, they provided the direction, guidance and sheer hard work to master our issue and build the support in the legislature for our very controversial bill. They never stopped working for us and it was this determination that took us over the goal line. - Theresa Champion, President - Virginia Autism Project

I worked with Principle Advantage and members of its team over many years. Individually, they were a force to be reckoned with - together they are the team I would want protecting my interests. - Will Sessoms, Former Mayor of Virginia Beach

I have worked with Principle Advantage both as part of project teams and when they were representing clients before my organization. They have always listened carefully to input, been very prepared, been very effective at opening doors of and bringing their client's message to key decision makers, delivered on time, and have been a joy to work with. - Steve Walz, Former Director, Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy

She has successfully served clients within the alternative/renewable energy, health, technology, and transportation sectors. She also represents local government and quasi-governmental authorities.
