As a lawyer practicing in Rock County for the past 26 years, I have been devoted to enhancing the community through service and volunteering. I have been a member of numerous boards and participated in a variety of organizations that include: Family Services of Southern Wisconsin/Northern Illinois, Chair of MS Rock County Annual Walk, coaching Janesville Lacrosse Club Boys U13 team, Southwest WI Workforce Development board, the City of Janesville Police and Fire Commission, and many other organizations over the years. I enjoy gardening, snow shoeing, creating garden art, hiking and attending sporting events.
Taking care of my clients and helping them get through their legal challenges is a high priority for me. My clients tell me that I've made their legal experiences easier and have been a "breath of fresh air." I try to be both efficient and aggressive in resolving their legal matters. It's extremely rewarding to me when my clients can move on and feel good about the results of their case.
