Broad Legal Experience Serving Children’s Interests

Molly began her legal career as an intern with the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, where she worked with the Honorable Marcia Morales Howard. She also interned with the Center for Children’s Rights in Jacksonville, the State Attorney’s Office for the Fourth Judicial Circuit, and the Guardian ad Litem Program. 

These experiences gave her a unique perspective on the challenges children and families face in the legal system and deepened her commitment to solutions that prioritize stability and love.

Before joining Tate Healey Webster, Molly practiced on the in-house legal team at Landmark Title in Jacksonville, where she drafted contracts, resolved complex title issues, and facilitated closings. While her real estate work sharpened her transactional skills, her heart has always been in assisted reproductive technology, lurrogacy law, adoption and child advocacy, making Tate Healey Webster the natural home for her practice.
