We've moved frequently and every time we moved to a new state we found a new lawyer to help us update our wills. Jodi was hands down the best we've ever worked with. Took the time needed to make sure we understood both our options and the meaning and implications of the various elements of these legal documents. Pointed out considerations and options we wouldn't have found ourselves. Thorough, patient, and enjoyable to work with.
We were referred to Jodi by our friends. We meet with her to have wills and living wills drawn up. She was very thorough, explained our options and made suggestions on our behalf. She did a great job.
With a focus on estate planning for the LGBT community, this area includes planning items such as the Designated Beneficiaries Act, as well as various other estate planning options.

As an Assistant District Attorney, Jodi was assigned to a special victims unit where she focused on cases involving sex crimes, child victims, domestic violence, and homicides. She left the District Attorney’s office to enter private practice, where she spent the next eight years litigating cases at an Oklahoma City mid-size law firm. As a Partner at that firm, Jodi supervised a team of attorneys focused on litigating employment and civil rights lawsuits. During her fifteen years of litigation practice, Jodi has had occasion to try over fifty cases to a jury and a multitude of trials to the Court, as well as multiple oral arguments before both the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals.

Professional and thorough
Jodi has always made time for my wife and I throughout the will process and made sure that we had a full understanding of everything. We needed some extra guidance since this was the first will for both us. We are very please with Jodi and definitely recommend her!
