About Annie
Biography
I love my job because I get to work with families and individuals who are going through a difficult time and help them make it better. My job is to take your legal problems on as my own and deal with them for you. I have a policy of working with you to keep fees down, so if you can do work to help, I will encourage you to do that if fees are a concern, but my office can handle all aspects of the legal process if that is what you prefer. I want to make your life easier.
When I'm not working, I am spending time with my family, which includes my husband, Casey, who is also a lawyer, our kids, Fletch & Phoebe, and our gigantic German Shepherd, Maverick. I have completed in several 1/2 Ironman triathlons, which is a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and 13.1 mile run.
