Keeley Andrews had the pleasure of knowing Lora Johnson prior to joining the Johnson & Associates team, as they worked together for a number of years at another valley law firm. In her former position, Keeley began as an estate planning paralegal and transitioned into a supervisory role within the advanced estate planning department, with a special emphasis on business/corporate matters. Keeley has been a member of the Johnson & Associates family since February of 2015 when she was hired on as Yvette Ashworth's paralegal, and is primarily involved with our guardianship/conservatorship matters.

When not at work, Keeley spends much of her personal time enjoying the outdoors. As an Arizona transplant born and raised in Washington State, Keeley will tell you she cannot get enough of the sunshine and warmth here in Arizona, and she wakes up everyday thankful for the blue skies. Hiking and country dancing are favorite pastimes and in a perfect world, she would be doing one or the other of those things most days of the week. Keeley loves to travel, to challenge herself to try new things, and to experience the most out of every situation that she possibly can. If she had to sum up her outlook on life, Keeley would say that a thankful, humble heart is of utmost importance and that each day is truly a gift.

April Duffey was born and raised in southeast Michigan. She was a single mother to her two children. During that time, she worked full-time in office administration, went to school, and did personal training part-time. She was very active in Boy Scouts of America and the local youth league football with her son, and Girl Scouts and dance with her daughter.

April married and in 2014 moved to Arizona with her husband and his parents just after completing her degree in Business Management. In Arizona she put her career on hold and became a full-time care-giver for her mother-in-law who had been diagnosed with dementia. After her mother-in-law's move into in a memory care facility, April took a position with Johnson and Associates.

April is grateful for the people she has had the chance to meet since moving to Arizona and joining Johnson and Associates. She is enjoying Arizona's warm weather and vast amounts of sun. Exploring the west side of the country with her husband is an ongoing pursuit, as well as trying to move her family to Arizona. That would be her dream. She believes that every day we have with our loved ones is a gift, because we never know what tomorrow is going to bring—no matter our age.

Marissa Boyer was born and raised in a tiny town in Central Pennsylvania. Upon graduation from high school, she went to college with a strong interest in law, having a major in Political Science and a minor in Legal Studies. After her second year of college, life threw her a curve ball as she began a new adventure: motherhood. After being a waitress for a number of years, Marissa became a bank teller and moved her way up in the banking world. Never losing her interest in the legal field, she accepted a job as a legal secretary in a small neighboring town in Pennsylvania and found a passion for helping individuals plan for the future.

Marissa and her husband, Bennett, moved to Arizona end of June 2020 with their two children. In August, they found out they were welcoming another little one into their family, due in May 2021. While not at work, Marissa enjoys spending time with her family. She also enjoys taking long walks with her dog, reading good books, or watching any Disney movie.
