I am a savvy business attorney with a reputation for providing my clients with adept legal solutions aimed at protecting their business’s bottom line, culture, and viability. I am also a battle-tested, trial-ready attorney skilled at navigating high-stakes litigation. I am passionate about assisting my clients – public and closely held companies, partnerships, small businesses, healthcare systems and non-profits – in effectively and efficiently achieving their strategic goals.
As a former prosecutor, elected local official, and state representative, I use the unique perspectives from these experiences to help guide my clients on protecting their trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information, identifying potential liability concerns, and navigating new legal and legislative trends. I draw on the skillset I developed in working with various constituencies to communicate and collaborate with clients, their stakeholders, clients, vendors and others in multiple venues ranging from the boardroom to the courtroom.
When I am not practicing law, I can be found on the sidelines at my children's sporting events either as a coach or a cheerleader.
