“KD and the Hendrickson Law Firm have very complementary practices and I have had the very pleasant opportunity to cross paths with a number of the attorneys at KD over the years,” said Hendrickson. “KD’s broad geographic footprint and regulatory capabilities will be of great value to our clients.”

Hendrickson earned her B.A. from Northwestern University and her J.D. from DePaul University College of Law where she achieved the academic distinction with honor and was appointed to the Order of the Coif. She is admitted to practice in Illinois and Wisconsin.
