The firm’s commercial-litigation focus places her in matters where businesses and other parties need careful case development, motion practice, and preparation for trial or appeal.

She received a Trial Advocacy Certificate and a CALI Excellence for the Future Award in a writing seminar. She earned a B.S. in Journalism from Northern Arizona University summa cum laude in 2021, with a minor in Mandarin Chinese. Her education developed strong research, writing, presentation, and advocacy skills that translate directly to commercial litigation work.

Dulaney’s legal training included an externship with the Honorable Ann A. Scott Timmer at the Arizona Supreme Court. She served as Articles Editor for the Law Journal for Social Justice, worked as a research assistant in tribal law, and competed in moot court through the American Bar Association’s National Appellate Advocacy Competition. After law school, her Arizona Court of Appeals clerkship deepened her experience with briefing, legal standards, appellate records, and judicial analysis before she entered private commercial litigation practice.

Her background combines trial advocacy training, appellate court experience, academic writing, and commercial litigation practice. She brings strong research and drafting skills to disputes that require detailed analysis of facts, contracts, legal standards, and procedural issues.
