"Emotional Intelligence"

This is over due. Her integrity; coupled with compassion for the rights of all individuals she represents exemplify in and out of the court room. As a parent and legal guardian to some fantastic people, she helped me navigate through understanding law, making it possible for me to enrich my life a...nd teenager who was a toddler when seeking guardianship years ago . She is strong, and intelligent. I trust her. We are grateful for her purpose and passion.
