Laryssa is far and away the best government relations consultant with whom I have worked. She is incredibly plugged-in, brimming with energy, and possessed of excellent judgement. Laryssa not only knows what to do, and at just the right moment, but equally importantly she knows what not to do, and why.

Co-Managing Partner, Mediator and Arbitrator, Singleton Urquhart Reynolds Vogel LLP

There are a number of reasons you should hire Laryssa – not the least of which is her unique understanding of the intersection of government relations and communications and her ability to integrate both into successful strategies. She provides straightforward and easy to comprehend advice on what can be very complicated issues. Further, she is calm in a storm and cannot be rattled!
