Meet Camille Pace, a New Client Team attorney at Daniel Stark.
Camille grew up on her parents’ farm in Louisiana. However, when she was twelve, her parents uprooted her and her sister and moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, hoping to provide them with more opportunities and a brighter future.
She enjoyed growing up in east Tennessee and being near the Great Smoky Mountains ignited her love for hiking and being outdoors. She later moved from Knoxville to Greenville, Tennessee, to attend Tusculum University where she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a focus in accounting.
After receiving her undergrad in 2013, Camille wasn’t sure what she wanted to do for a career, but she enjoyed going to school and wanted to further her education. Her parents encouraged her to apply to law school and she ended up getting a scholarship to Lincoln Memorial University – Duncan School of Law, where she graduated in 2017.
In law school, she discovered her passion for the business side of law, excelling in electives like bankruptcy and corporate internships. However, her first job out of law school was in family law – a domain she found unfulfilling, but she had a strong desire to use her law degree to help others. It wasn’t until she transitioned into bankruptcy law in 2018 that she began to feel aligned with her professional goals.
After moving to Texas for her husband’s military obligations in 2022, Camille worked for a small firm handling many areas of law including bankruptcy, probate, wills, trusts, estates, and criminal and family law, and civil litigation. After working for that firm for a year and a half, she needed a change.
In May of 2023, she found the job posting for an NCT Attorney at Daniel Stark. At first, she thought it was too good to be true, but the following month, Camille was invited to join the Daniel Stark team.
At DS, Camille found a work environment that exceeded her expectations. She appreciates how everyone works towards the same goal, creating a supportive and collaborative atmosphere. Her role involves advising the NCT Team, reviewing incoming cases, making chase calls, and advising potential clients.
The most rewarding part of her job is the ability to genuinely help people—whether it’s taking on their case, referring them to the right attorney, or providing additional resources. This sense of purpose aligns with her lifelong goal of making a meaningful impact in the lives of others.
In 2024, Camille moved back to Tennessee, a decision driven by her desire to raise her growing family in a familiar environment. Camille was fortunate enough to stay in her current position and work fully remote.
Outside of the office, her favorite hobbies include reading, watching reality TV, being in the mountains, loving on her fur babies, and spending quality time with friends and family.
The biggest positive influence in her life has been her parents. Their sacrifice and unwavering support have shaped her values of kindness, honesty, and determination. “The best parents that exist in this world,” she says, crediting them for teaching her everything she knows.
Camille is a proud, kind, and honest woman, deeply committed to her family, her work, and her community. We are thankful to have her as part of our Daniel Stark family!
