I have a diverse background. I spent five years teaching before attending law school and bring my empathy and creativity from that experience to my law practice. I am an experienced litigtor. I spent many years attending court proceedings on a daily basis. I am here to fight for your rights and provide you with peace of mind as I help you navigate through your legal challenge. I run a boutique law firm so that you have personalized, individualized service from me.
Practice areas
Working at the Alternate Public Defender's Office, I represented many clients whose children came into the custody of the county. I have expanded my practice since becoming a solo practitioner to all areas of family: divorce, establishing custody, changing custody, termination of parental rights, child support,handling contempt issues, and all other situations that may arise in this expansive area of the law. I am a very experienced litigator and run a boutique law firm, focused on you!

I am here to guide you if you are a target of a law enforcement investigation. I am a very experienced litigator! I will fight to protect your rights and provide you peace of mind.

I have experience defending many DUI cases. I understand the issues that each case presents, and whether litigation, a motion to suppress, or a plea is the most appropriate for your circumstances. I will guide you through the requirements necessary so you come to court prepared and informed.

Adoption is one of the most uplifting types of legal cases to handle. I can handle your adoption whether it be through the county, a step parent, or a private adoption. If you need a parent's rights terminated, or someone is attempting to terminate your rights, I am adept at these cases.
