I have practiced law for over 16 years, with experience in a variety of settings. I was lucky enough to practice in a large, global law firm during my formative years where I learned from the best! I gained priceless experience in transactional work, learning how to negotiative creative solutions for clients and implement them in the documents. As a partner, I led the Health Information Technology Affinity Group, where I was in charge of building a practice that covered transactional matters and privacy and security - Anyone heard of HIPAA?
After nearly a decade, I left the hustle of downtown Chicago in favor of a home office in the suburbs. I kept practicing law and expanded my practice area to help small businesses. After five years, my practice had grown enough that I opened an office in a bright building in idyllic Homewood, Illinois.
I continue to accept new clients and am especially interested in helping entrepreneurs get started in their business ventures. If you need legal services, don't hesitate to reach out to an experienced attorney to help you!
