EXPERIENCE: Since founding the firm, Caroline Costle has been an active litigation on behalf of GreenbergCostle clients. Notable have been successes in obtaining favorable results in two extensively-researched and briefed adversary proceedings in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, obtaining an acquittal for a client wrongly charged with assault and battery, and negotiating a number of complex property settlement agreements and custody arrangements. Ms. Costle's advocacy on behalf of a creditor in Harmon v. Scott led to three written opinions from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The client had paid a generous six-month advance to a nurse caring for her totally-disabled mother. After receiving the advance, the nurse worked only six weeks, spent the money, and filed for bankruptcy. As a result of aggressive investigation and thorough research, Ms. Costle successfully opposed a discharge of the debtor and won a "non-dischargeable" judgment for the unearned funds.

Ms. Costle graduated from Harvard-Radcliffe College with honors in 1988. While at Harvard, Ms. Costle concentrated in Social Studies, an honors-only interdisciplinary major requiring the study of political science, history, philosophy, sociology and economics. Ms. Costle graduated from Georgetown University Law Center in 1994. At Georgetown, Ms. Costle served both as an executive editor for and published in The Tax Lawyer, a law journal. Ms. Costle also taught legal research and writing to first year law students.

Immediately after graduating from law school in May of 1994, Ms. Costle temporarily moved up to Vermont to help with her father's campaign for the United States Senate. After the campaign ended, she returned to Virginia, volunteered in several local campaigns, took and passed the Virginia bar, and did independent legal research until joining RGRCLaw.

During law school, Ms. Costle was employed as a Summer Associate for Powell, Goldstein, Frazer & Murphy. Her work there included researching, analyzing and helping lobby for proposed changes to the Medicaid Drug Pricing laws, investigating federal programs and potential federal funding for clients, and expunging a wrongful arrest from a client's record. Ms. Costle also worked with the American Bar Association's Government Affairs Office. While there, she researched and wrote sections of Congressional testimony on the independent counsel legislation.

Before entering law school, Ms. Costle worked for several years as a Legislative Assistant to Congressman Bob Wise from West Virginia. In addition to drafting legislation, Ms. Costle researched various issues, prepared memos and briefed the Congressman on upcoming bills, regulations and hearings. Ms. Costle also worked as an advance person for the 1988 Presidential campaign.
