About Jodi
Biography
I am a second-career attorney with a background in education. I am a former teacher and school administrator and the parent of two wonderful daughters. My extensive background working with children and families helps me identify with the issues facing my clients and makes me a compassionate advocate in matters involving divorce, custody, enforcement, paternity, and modification actions through both litigation and the collaborative process.
In addition to representing clients in family law matters, I represent parents and students seeking resolution to school-related issues, including those involving student discipline, Section 504, and special education pursuant to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act ("IDEA").
Although I live in Fort Worth, my practice is spread throughout the metroplex reprenting clients in Tarrant, Dallas, Denton, and Collin Counties.
