About me
With the formation of McAndrews Whittaker, PC in 2011, I have joined forces with a prominent member of the litigation bar, Terrence C. McAndrews, to provide my clients with greater resources while maintaining the boutique nature of my practice. Since the formation of McAndrews Whittaker, PC, I obtained an $850,000.00 verdict in the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel County on behalf of a former family law client for whom I had already achieved a complete reversal of custody. The jury found in our favor on theories of invasion of privacy, placing a person before the public in a false light and malicious use of civil process.

I am a member of the Maryland State Bar, the Federal Bar for the Fourth Circuit and the District of Columbia.
