Navigation Thelwell honored for her commitment to fighting human trafficking, child exploitation and elder abuse
Assistant U.S. Attorney Lisa Thelwell was awarded “Prosecutor of the Year” by Attorney General Ashley Moody at the annual Human Trafficking Summit.
Lisa Thelwell remembers that August day in 2012 when Chief Assistant Don Horn welcomed her class of 40 new hires — mostly beginning lawyers like her — to the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office.
“He said our jobs are very important and we have the power to change lives with one decision,” Thelwell recalls. “No matter how big or small the case, our judgment is extremely important.”
