Kira Botting - Lebanon, NH

Kira Botting is an associate at the firm. She proudly represents individuals in Vermont personal injury and workers’ compensation cases.

Kira joined the firm in 2016 as a paralegal. She has worked on numerous injury cases through every step of the process, including insurance claim negotiation, litigation, mediation, arbitration, and trial. Kira is honored to help clients navigate what is often an overwhelming process while they recover from their injuries.

Kira acquired her legal education the old-fashioned way: by apprenticeship! She completed Vermont’s Law Office Study Program, where she “read the law” for four years under the mentorship of the firm’s experienced and knowledgeable partners, Cristina Rousseau and Kristin Ross. She worked closely with Cristina and Kristin on a wide array of injury cases, including car accidents, medical malpractice, products liability, and workers’ compensation. Kira went on to pass the bar exam with flying colors and become admitted to practice in Vermont.

Kira is also a Notary Public and a member of the Vermont Bar Association, Vermont Association for Justice, and New Hampshire Association for Justice. She currently serves on the Vermont Association for Justice Board of Governors and as a volunteer pro-bono attorney with the Vermont Asylum Assistance Project. She is an advocate for Law Office Study and has spoken on the Program in a panel hosted by the Vermont Bar Association.

Prior to beginning Law Office Study, Kira received her undergraduate degree from DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois. While at DePaul, she studied abroad with the College of Law at Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany. Kira is deeply appreciative of her time in Chicago and Berlin, but she is grateful to have made the Upper Valley her home.

In her spare time, Kira enjoys spending time with her family, practicing yoga, and exploring all the natural beauty New England has to offer.
