How long have you been in business: I have been an attorney here in Ocala for 27 years.
Business: I was an Assistant State Attorney right out of law school, worked as General Counsel and then Chief Deputy of Courts at the Marion County Clerk’s office, and have worked with my father and law partner, John Piccin, at Piccin & Glynn for a total of 15 years.

Most memorable times thus far: The “sink or swim” feeling of being a new prosecutor right out of law school at my first jury trial. I am also thankful every day to be able to practice law with my father, John Piccin.
Most difficult times & how you learned to overcome them: I am very busy working full time, being a wife, and mom, and being very active riding jumpers and playing polo. When I get overwhelmed, I remind myself that digging deep and taking one step at a time is the only way to conquer any big challenge.

How they made a change for /an impact on your business and life: My firm supports many excellent causes but, because I am currently a Board member of the Ocala Horse Alliance (OHA), I am overjoyed with OHA’s success with its signature event, The Black Stallion Reading Project. Every 4th grader in Marion County gets a copy of the classic book, The Black Stallion, and has an opportunity to interact with horses, learn about our local horse industry, and, in doing so, is focused on the importance of literacy and the gift of reading. Most exciting place/places you have traveled to and why: My most memorable trip was to Italy in 1997.
My husband and I got married there in an ancient town overlooking Florence. My other most memorable family trips were to Japan, Ireland, and Scotland. Your Motto in business/life: Treat everyone with honesty and respect, work hard, and never pass up a good opportunity when it comes your way. Most important goal for your business: Together, my father and I have represented the residents of Marion and other surrounding counties for decades. We take pride in working very closely, one-on-one, with our clients to provide guidance and representation that is personal and caring.
