Prior to joining Angeli & Calfo, Hannah was a civil litigator with Markowitz Herbold, P.C. She began her legal career as an assistant attorney general with the Oregon Department of Justice’s Solicitor General’s Office, where she argued ten cases before the Oregon Court of Appeals and drafted 45 appellate briefs. Hannah then served as a law clerk for U.S. District Judge Michael W. Mosman before becoming a Clackamas County deputy district attorney, where she managed a caseload of 200 matters and tried multiple cases to verdict.

Hannah left a journalism career to pursue her law degree. Today, that background provides her strong communication, reasoning, and investigative skills, while making her a tough, pragmatic voice on behalf of her clients in both appellate and trial courts. During her time as a journalist, Hannah reported on politics, government, and education for Willamette Week, the McMinnville News-Register, and the Statesman Journal.
