The documentary series “Making a Murderer,” which chronicles the case of a Wisconsin man charged with killing a 25-year-old woman, made celebrities out of some lawyers it featured in its deep dive into the criminal justice system.

Her profile on professional networking site LinkedIn shows that she worked as a contract attorney at the firm for more than five years while making the documentary film.
