I’ve never been one to stay in a single lane. I’ve worked as a criminal prosecutor, run multiple businesses, and homeschooled my kids — all while building systems that make life and work actually function.

That same energy fuels TrustStone Legal. I started this practice to help people protect what matters most, without pressure or pretense. Some attorneys offer one-size-fits-all plans. I don’t. I figure out what you need — and if it’s not something I’ve done before, I’ll learn it, build it, or find the right way to get it done.

As I built my own law firm from the ground up — creating workflows, simplifying decisions, and finding smarter ways to run things — I started having the same conversations with other business owners. They were stuck in the same mess I had just worked through. I created Moxie in Motion (a non-legal arm of TrustStone) to fill that gap: a second venture focused on systems, strategy, and solving the behind-the-scenes overwhelm so many small business owners carry alone.

All of my work is grounded in real-life experience, thoughtful strategy, and a talent for seeing beyond the way it’s always been done — to find what fits each client and how we can get it done, and get it done right.

Legal care doesn’t have to be cold, confusing, or cookie-cutter. I bring sharp thinking, real-world perspective, and the flexibility to get it right — even if we have to flip the table, break the mold, and chase down a flying pig or two.

I’m the managing partner of my family of four. I love nature, animals, silly art projects, solving problems, and creating just about anything. When I’m not working, I’m all mom. In rare moments of rest, you’ll find me floating in the pool—strategizing my next adventure… or maybe just dinner.

My mission for TrusStone:

To shake the dust off legal support — making it personal, practical, and powerful. I’m here to help people protect what matters, build boldly, and navigate complex systems with clarity and care. Because the people I serve need more than just paperwork — they need a partner who listens, adapts, and gets it done right.
