Niki Desai is an Associate at GMR. She has been with the firm for nearly two years and plays an integral part in GMR's plaintiff personal injury practice. Outside of work, she extends her expertise and resources to students through the Penn State Liberal Arts Alumni Mentor Program. Here is more about Niki:

"My favorite show when I was in high school was The OC, and one of the characters (Sandy Cohen) was a lawyer. Watching him in my teenage years was what initially piqued my interest in the legal field.

During college at Penn State, I worked for two criminal defense attorneys, and I also interned at the Philadelphia DA's office during the summer of my junior year. My internship allowed me to see firsthand how much a lawyer can positively impact lives and confirmed that I wanted to go to law school.

My advice for anyone beginning a career in the legal field would be to use your network and seek a mentor if possible. Having a more seasoned attorney in your pocket in moments of chaos that you can turn to for guidance and advice is invaluable. Also, don’t be afraid to ask colleagues or supervisors questions - chances are, any issues that may come up have been dealt with before, and there is usually no need to reinvent the wheel."

Goldberg, Miller & Rubin proudly celebrates the women attorneys, paralegals, and staff members at the firm.

Recognizing and promoting diversity in the legal profession is crucial for creating an inclusive and dynamic environment. Empowering women in the legal field not only fosters a more balanced workplace but also brings diverse perspectives and experiences to the forefront.

The Women’s Initiative at GMR was founded to foster the careers of the women attorneys in the firm and to provide support throughout the various stages of their professional lives. GMR has historically strived to maintain a working environment that recruits and promotes women which is exemplified in the overwhelming presence of women in the firm.

It's important to continue supporting initiatives that encourage the professional development and advancement of women in law. The future is female.
