Staff Spotlight on Mandy Sorenson

Mandy was born and raised in Tallahassee, Florida. She is a legal assistant in our office who handles the Florida replevins, Georgia Writs of Possession, and pre-judgment Georgia cases for our clients.

In her time away from the office, Mandy’s favorite thing to do is read. She is always getting new books from the library and loves a good suspenseful mystery or historical fiction book. Mandy also enjoys spending time with her pup, Chewie (a miniature schnauzer), especially taking him on walks. She is looking forward to the weather cooling down so they can venture out more. A newer hobby that Mandy has recently dived into is perfecting homemade pasta! She and her dad, Jim Sorenson, love spending time with each other in the kitchen working on mastering this together. Sure sounds delicious right?!

Mandy is also excited about her upcoming trip to Disney World for her nephew’s first birthday. The Sorenson family cannot wait to celebrate Tripp. This will be Tripp’s second visit to Disney!

Thank you for being such a valuable employee here at Sorenson Van Leuven, Mandy! We look forward to many more years with you as a part of our team.
