I have been devoted to family law since my admittance to the Indiana Bar in 2005. As a family law attorney, I assist my clients through the divorce process while keeping the interests of children in the forefront. I represent clients in all areas of family law, including: divorce; child custody; parenting time; child support; grandparents rights; paternity testing; emancipation; post-decree modifications; legal separation; adoptions and name changes.
I am trained as a Mediator, Collaborative Law Professional, Guardian Ad Litem and Arbitrator. I strive to assist my divorce and family law clients in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible. I am originally from Grant County, Indiana and currently reside in Hamilton County with my husband and three children.

I would pick her a million times over. She was very thorough and honest. She made valid points, stuck to our goal in obtaining custody, provided all documents for judge, and gave great advice that was fair for both parties. She truly wants what is best for the child and makes that clear from the begi...

We hired Joni the better part of 5 years ago. My wife and I kept hearing horror stories from there Mother’s house and all unfortunately / fortunately ended up to be true.
