NATALIE A. PEROUTKA
A native Marylander, Natalie A. Peroutka has joined Byrd & Byrd with decades of real-world work experience. Early in her career she worked in the hospitality industry and later owned and operated her own daycare. While homeschooling her son, she returned to school and graduated from St. Mary’s College of Maryland with a B.A. in mathematics.
She taught at the College of Southern Maryland for ten years during which time she developed a fascination with the logic and gravity of law. Conversations and debates with attorneys in her network stoked this fascination into a passion. Eventually, she decided to return to school once more and attended the University of Baltimore School of Law.
Natalie was one of those students who actually loved law school (at least after the 1st semester), especially those classes where the professors understood the value of math in law. After graduating cum laude in 2017, she worked at the Anne Arundel County Circuit Court for both the Honorable Paul F. Harris, Jr. and the Honorable Ronald A. Silkworth. At the end of her clerkship, she entered private practice where she had the opportunity to practice in a variety of different legal areas. She finds it most rewarding when she can assist people in the protection of their assets through estate planning, and walk with people as they navigate one of the most difficult times of their lives through estate administration.
She enjoys spending her free time reading, walking, bike riding, and relaxing with her 4.5 pound dog, Maximus.
