Attorney Descera Daigle Becomes Principal in Goldman Gruder & Woods, LLC
Descera Daigle was named a principal in the firm on January 1, 2008. A member of the Real Estate and Business/Corporate Departments, Descera (pronounced "Des-er-ay") began her legal career as an associate with GGW in 2001. Attorney Daigle began handling commercial real estate and business formation matters and then moved into residential real estate, helping Ken Gruder bolster the firm's burgeoning practice.
