Ms. Fitz was raised by a single mother who was a professional in the securities industry. As a teenager, she fondly recalls attending shareholders meetings and visiting the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Boardroom, and credits her background for her interest in white collar crime. When she served as a juror on a vehicular homicide case in college she discovered her calling as a trial lawyer and began her career as a felony prosecutor for the State of Georgia. Finding that she sympathized with many of the defendants she was prosecuting, she turned to criminal defense in 2004.

As a defense attorney, Ms. Fitz has represented clients in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, New York, California, and New Jersey. Her experience includes 7 years of working as a Panel Attorney under the Federal Criminal Justice Act (CJA) in conjunction with the Federal Defender's Office in Atlanta and Los Angeles where she developed a proficiency in federal court representing defendants charged in cases ranging from fraud and public corruption to gang cases involving drug trafficking and extortion. She has handled numerous high-profile white collar criminal cases, including cases involving a $25 million mortgage modification scheme, a $12 million tax fraud scheme, and a $7 million securities fraud scheme.

In addition to trial court litigation, Ms. Fitz has helped a number of convicted defendants challenge their sentences and convictions in federal appellate courts. She has prepared motions and briefs in the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 9th, 10th, and 11th Circuits, as well as the United States Supreme Court. Her hard work was instrumental in amending Georgia's sex offender registration law to allow for individuals not convicted of an underlying sexual offense to be removed from the sex offender registry and in establishing a clear definition of what constitutes criminal liability in federal child pornography cases through the use of computer forensics.

Ms. Fitz's distinctive legal accomplishments have been featured in nationally known publications and media outlets including Rolling Stone Magazine, Wired Magazine, CBS's 48 Hours Mystery and NBC's Nightly News. Among her accolades, she was nominated and selected as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers in 2013, 2014, and 2016, and was named a Top 10 Attorney Under 40 by the National Academy of Criminal Defense Attorneys in 2014.
