I have practiced law in Michigan since 2003, with a concentration in litigating a wide variety of civil matters including the areas of condominium and HOA, real estate law, business law, landlord tenant, contract disputes, collections, landlord tenant, as well as personal injury cases. I am also a certified court appointed mediator. I have successfully mediated dozens of cases ranging from simple real estate disputes to complex commercial matters.
After graduating with a B.S. from Eastern Michigan University in 1999, I attended Vermont Law School from which I received a JD and Master of Studies in Environmental Law, cum laude, in 2003. At Vermont Law School Ie was invited to join the Law Review and served as a Notes Editor on the Vermont Law Review from 2001 to 2003.
I am adjunct professor at Oakland University in the Management and Marketing Department where I have taught a course on the Legal Environment of Business. I am a member of the The Oakland County Bar Association and I am licensed to practice in the Michigan State Courts, United States District Court, E.D. Michigan (2005-present), and United States District Court, W.D. Michigan (2005-present). I am a member of the Business Executive Network of Business Networking International, as well as a volunteer mediator at the Oakland Mediation Center.
I was born and raised in Farmington Hills. I moved away from the area to attend college and law school and moved back to Farmington in 2003. I am grateful to be able to live and work in the community I love so much and to be able to assist the residents and businesses of Farmington and its surrounding areas through their legal challenges. In my free time, I enjoy performing and teaching improv comedy, traveling, attending live theater, and spending time with her family and her dogs.
