Speaker: Dianne Carlson

I am a native Dallasite, born and raised in Highland Park. I have attended the same church since I was 6 years old. I began my legal career in Dallas after attending Duke University and The University of Texas School of Law. My professional career offers a great example of flexibility within the profession – I have worked in small, medium, and large law firms, the back office of a tiny consulting company and the legal department of a very large airline. I’ve also done missionary work in Africa teaching Christian reconciliation to members of the legal profession there. I currently own my own law firm and am enrolled at Perkins School of Theology at SMU. I am the proud mama of two amazing young men, 2 dogs and 2 grand-kitties.
