 Meet The Advocate:
Margie Gualtieri, Managing Attorney

 

 

Managing Attorney Marguerite Gualtieri (Margie to her friends) joined Child Advocates 17 years ago, after spending a year volunteering with us as a lawyer.  Margie began her career as a social worker, helping children and adults with chronic medical issues.  She quickly realized she wanted to influence policy and returned to school, heading to Villanova Law School to earn her law degree.  After spending some time in private practice, Margie says she felt drawn to social justice and helping children, and wanted to hold a more meaningful position.

 

On a daily basis Margie supervises our five staff attorneys, and each of their cases, to ensure the best possible results.  She describes her role at Child Advocates as "being responsible for the legal end of our office's advocacy."  She also assists with consultations, trainings and technical assistance.  In the nearly two decades Margie has spent with Child Advocates she says what she most enjoys about working here is "being surprised by the resilience of the children we work with" and "the people with whom I work."

 

Since our Annual Benefit Reception & Auction is right around the corner, Margie is most looking forward to seeing so many people coming together to support Child Advocates and of course, browsing (and bidding) on the various auction items! Be sure to say "hi" to Margie if you can join us on April 10th.

 

During her off time, Margie enjoys spending time with her family, running, visiting Brigantine Beach and is currently planning a trip to Italy.  Since March Madness is upon us, we had to ask who she's rooting for.  The answer, "Florida!"
