About Ms. Molly M.
Ms. Molly M. Schertzinger serves as an attorney in North Carolina and practices with Riddle & Brantley. She combines an international graduate degree and an American law degree in a career that has remained anchored in the state where she is licensed.
Her academic path began at Queens University of Charlotte, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in 2001. She continued her studies overseas, completing a Master of Arts at Bond University in Robina, Queensland, Australia in 2005. She returned to the United States for legal training and received a Juris Doctor from Florida Coastal School of Law in 2007.
Schertzinger is admitted to practice in North Carolina. Her education included experience in both common-law and comparative settings, which she draws on when assessing legal issues for clients. The combination of an international master’s degree and a U.S. law degree informs how she approaches problem solving and case analysis.
At Riddle & Brantley she represents the firm’s clients in matters that arise under state law. Her work involves preparing court filings, counseling clients on procedural matters, and advocating in hearings. Colleagues describe her approach as methodical; she prepares cases with attention to detail and a clear view of the practical steps needed to move matters forward.
Outside of courtroom preparation, she spends time explaining options and likely outcomes to clients. She aims to give people the information they need to make decisions about their cases. That work often requires translating legal procedures into plain language and setting realistic expectations about timing and process.
Schertzinger’s background—combining liberal arts, international graduate study, and legal training—shapes her perspective as a practicing lawyer. She maintains an active practice in North Carolina through Riddle & Brantley. Her current practice centers on representing the firm’s clients in state matters handled from the firm’s office.
