Ciara L. Rogers isn't just a lawyer. She's a mentor, an advocate, and an inspiration to aspiring legal professionals. As a first-generation attorney, she carved a path marked by intelligence, unwavering dedication, and empathy. Her journey, rooted in service and shaped by personal experience, has made her a respected figure in the legal community, particularly within the complex world of bankruptcy law.

Ciara’s story begins in central Virginia, where she spent most of her childhood. The influence of service was woven into the fabric of her upbringing, as both her parents served in the U.S. Army. Her parents’ service instilled in her a profound appreciation for dedication and the importance of contributing to something larger than herself.
