When Solange was just 37 years old, her first husband, John Ritchie, died due to gross medical negligence at a Southern California hospital. That life-altering experience shaped her life. She began writing creatively as a way to deal with this stress.
With a passion for philanthropic work (stemming from growing up with an older brother with Down’s Syndrome and John’s death), Solange serves or has served on numerous charities and legal boards, including The California Women Lawyers Association, The Orange County Bar Association, The Orange County Women Lawyers Association, The Orange County Trial Lawyers Association, The Community Court’s Foundation and El Viento. Solange is a proud graduate of the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyer’s College in Wyoming.
