I am a graduate of the University of Iowa where I received a degree in English. I then attended DePaul University where i received my J.D. From there I worked briefly in Chicago as a criminal defense attorney. In May of 2011 I accepted a position as an Assistant State's Attorney for McDonough County. After three years as a prosecutor I went into private practice with Lucie, Scalf and Graham. I now handle a variety of matters including criminal defense, family law and civil litigation.
