I am your neighborhood attorney. I have been in practice since 2000, in Arizona since 2004. My experience includes the United States Marine Corps, large firms, and small firms, but I began my solo practice in 2011 because the only people I like to work for are my clients. I am a single parent who successfully fought for equal time with my then-young and now-qadult daughter. I have extensive trial and appellate experience and cannot wait to help you with your legal problems.
