This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Forever Grateful

I cannot say enough about how incredible my attorney has been throughout one of the most difficult seasons of my life. She stood by me through a complex divorce, a challenging custody battle, a DSS case, and even a frightening stalking situation—with strength, compassion, and unwavering professionali...sm. She wasn’t just my legal counsel—she was my advocate, my protector, and sometimes even my lifeline when things felt overwhelming. Her knowledge of the law is matched only by her ability to communicate it clearly and fight fiercely for what’s right. She treated me like a person, not just a case file, and made me feel seen, heard, and supported every step of the way. Thanks to her, I came out of this storm with my dignity, my voice, and most importantly, the protection and peace my family deserves. If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely fight for you and stand strong when things get tough, look no further. She is the definition of dedication and grace under pressure. Forever grateful.
