A native of Bethel, Ohio, Vanover holds a bachelor's degree summa cum laude from Capital University in Columbus, Ohio, and a doctor of jurisprudence from The Ohio State University, where she was managing editor of the Ohio State Law Journal and Order of the Coif.

Simpson joined the Firm in 2002 and practices in its Grand Rapids office. He is a member of the American Bar Association, the State Bar of Michigan and the Grand Rapids Bar Association.
