Former Indian Affairs attorney at Interior Department joins firm
Venus Prince, a member of the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, has joined Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton.
Prince comes to the firm from a senior post at the Interior Department. She served as deputy solicitor for Indian Affairs within the Office of the Solicitor, where she handled legal issues affecting Indian Country.
