Prior to joining QPWB, Ms. Roberts served as an associate in the Social Security Disability Department of a Michigan regional firm. In this role, she managed all stages of the administrative hearing process, regularly representing clients before administrative law judges and drafting persuasive appellate and hearing briefs.

Ms. Roberts' legal experience also encompasses foundational work in civil practice, corporate operations, and transactional drafting. As a law clerk for a municipal and civil defense firm in Southgate, she drafted contracts and procedural addenda for regional school districts, built comprehensive estate plans, and prepared core court filings for active civil litigation proceedings. Furthermore, during her academic career, she served as a student clinician with the MSU Law Housing Law Clinic, where she conducted critical legal research, navigated the Eviction Diversion Program, assisted supervising attorneys in finalizing settlement agreements, and provided formal representation at hearings.
