Tamara Harless (Tammy)

Tamara Harless is a classic American success story and is Exhibit "A" when it comes to proving what dedication and perseverance can accomplish. Born in Texarkana Texas, she has known how to work hard, and play hard, her entire life. She spent her formative years learning the typical southern values of hard work, compassion for others, and the importance of family that drove her to success later in life.

Tamara has been married for 20 years and has two daughters. She is more than a little proud of her oldest who was a cheerleader for the UNLV Rebels. Tamara's younger daughter is following in her older sister's footsteps and has won dozens of trophies in cheer and dance competitions across the country.

Tamara enjoys traveling, shopping, and music. She is the quintessential (if not ultimate) Aerosmith fan. Sundays you will find her cheering on the Dallas Cowboys and enjoying her weekend with her family.

Tamara is the consummate professional. She is a get it done type who absolutely refuses to let anything get in between her and whatever she sets her sights on. In her more than a decade of working with Christensen Law Offices she has shown time and time again the amazing things that someone with focus and a never quit attitude can achieve. She worked her way from an entry-level office aid to Christensen Law Offices' executive office manager responsible for much of the day-to-day administration of the firm. Words cannot express how fortunate we at Christensen Law Offices, not to mention our clients, are to benefit from what Tamara brings to the table and how she puts her all into every day.

Tamara has a degree in Paralegal Studies and is a member of The Association of Legal Administrators and the paralegal division of the American Association for Justice (formerly Association of American Trial Lawyers of America - ATLA).
