Professional Staff

	Patty Smith Firm Administrator I graduated with a B.S. in Business Administration from the State University New York College at Buffalo. My responsibilities at the firm involve marketing, advertising, human resources and benefits administration. I enjoy meeting people and discussing the many advantages of having HoganWillig as their law firm.
	Tom Palka Technology Administrator I attended the State University of New York at Buffalo where I majored in Bio/Chem. After attending the University of Cincinnati, I received my B.S. in Information Processing Systems and went to work immediately in the banking industry. My professional experience has been in the area of computer systems analysis, design, programming and networking. I have been very fortunate at HoganWillig to have an administrative team that believes in keeping current with technology and provide the 'tools' to keep our costs low and our standards high.
	Joan Dolce Dunn, RN, SNP, DNS I received a B.S. in Nursing at Niagara University, and also hold a Doctor of Nursing Science, Masters of Nursing and Nurse Practitioner Degrees from the State University of New York at Buffalo. My previous professional experience is in clinical nursing and teaching nursing at Niagara University. I now concentrate my Legal Nurse Consulting practice primarily in the areas of Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice. The combination of my years of giving nursing care and educating nurses has provided a unique basis for me to understand and value the patient's perspective for each of our clients. First, I analyze the medical care that our client received and then I compare this to the standards of medical care to which they are entitled. From this our medical malpractice team then develops the theme which becomes the basis for our client's legal action.
	Jessica Hulbert Director of Marketing I graduated from Buffalo State College with my BFA in Communication Design and I am currently pursuing my MBA with a concentration in marketing at Canisius College. I accepted a position with HoganWillig to head their Marketing Department after working for several months as a freelance graphic designer post-graduation. I am honored to be part of the dedicated team of professionals here at HoganWillig.
	Jason Jablonski Website / PC Analyst I graduated from Niagara County Community College with an A.S. in Computer Information Systems.  Over the past five years, my freelance experience includes hardware/software installation, website design and general PC assistance. I enjoy the family atmosphere here at HoganWillig.  We strive to make our clients as comfortable as possible.  I am proud to help provide useful information to our clients via our website.
	Amy K. Leet Real Estate Center Coordinator Over the past 25 years, my career concentration has been in Residential Mortgage Default Servicing involving collections, foreclosures, bankruptcy, loss mitigation, real estate sales of properties acquired through foreclosure, and broad customer server.  Prior to joining HoganWillig, my most recent 5 years were spent handling Foreclosure Client Relations & Reporting at another law firm, which followed many years as a senior officer managing mortgage loan servicing operations at several Buffalo banks.
