PRO
I grew up in a small farming town in Wisconsin. Through marriage to a military person, I landed in Virginia. I obtained my undergraduate education at Old Dominion University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science. I majored in Finance and Economics. I went on to attend law school at Regent University of Law. I have four children and reside in beautiful Williamsburg. I own two little designer dogs (Brussels Griffons) and a Ragdoll cat.
Having been through a difficult divorce, including the division of military retirement, I understand the challenging time folks encounter going through a divorce, particularly when there are children involved. I offer a unique compassion for my clients due to my own life experiences.
