Street Style: Katelin Moomau
Can-Do! When I hear the name Katelin Moomau, Can-Do! is the first thing that comes to mind. The second thing that comes to my mind is, how does she do it and do it so well?! While Katelin practices all areas of family law, she is a well-respected and highly sought-after divorce attorney at Family First Law Group in Old Town, Alexandria. Katelin is also a volunteer extraordinaire currently giving her time to The Campagna Center and the Fairfax Law Foundation. Previously Katelin served as a Guardian Ad Litem (a court-appointed advocate for juveniles.) In her remaining free time, you’ll find her at George Washington’s Mount Vernon, attending events alongside her husband, Matt, the Vice President of Media and Communications at the estate. Chances are you will also find both of them volunteering in the estate’s Greenhouse!
Katelin’s boundless energy knows no limits! She loves to cook and is known to bake up a storm! In addition, she is the best dog mom to her Bichon, Max. And if that’s not enough, she loves traveling the world - most recently Hawaii, Wisp, Miami Beach, and Amsterdam. Did I mention she also makes custom earrings and necklaces?!
I am thrilled to welcome Katelin Moomau and the Family First Law Group to the Alexandria Stylebook community! Her first three articles were incredibly well-received and I am not at all surprised our readers loved the topics she covered, including prenuptial agreements and Advance Directives. I can’t wait to read what she writes next!
Personally, I am beyond excited to work closely with Katelin again on a shared passion - Alexandria!
