Respresenting family law clients in this area for over 18 years. My practice assists clients with divorce, child custody domestic violence, child support and step-parent adoptions.
23 years
I grew up in Pinellas County, graduating from Dunedin High School. I returned home after graduating from University of Florida Law School and am raising my two beautiful children, along with my Husband of 18 years, here in Tarpon Springs. I love this area and would never want to live any place else. My original career choice was teaching, due to my background of always caring for kids, whether it was my younger siblings and cousins or coaching swim teams. My career path changed and now my focus and goal as an attorney is helping children in difficult times.
