I have always had a strong desire to help others. Both of my parents are philanthropic minded and growing up, they taught me & my 8 siblings to remember that not everyone was as fortunate as our family. My family was very rich in compassion and kindness. As I got older, it became clear to me that whatever occupation I chose, I felt a need to help others in the same way that was modeled by my parents. Watching my father run his own small-town law practice, counseling others, taking the time to understand their needs and getting to know them as people, not just as clients, helped solidify my own desire to pursue the law as a career. After graduating from law school in Pennsylvania, I enjoyed practicing law for many years. When we moved to the Twin Cities, I decided to take a hiatus to begin raising a family with my husband. It was during this busy time with our young family, that my compassion for others and my desire to help became more ingrained in me. I spent much of my time volunteering in various capacities, wanting to serve and support others. When I decided to come back to practicing law, I did so with a fresh, rejuvenated perspective. My approach with every client is to get to know and understand their current situation in life, as most people don’t typically come to a lawyer when things are going well in their life. My first contact with a potential client is usually when they are seeking advice and assistance AFTER something has already happened. So, it is imperative that I understand not only what brought that client to me and how I can assist in the current situation, but also how I can advise and help them make a plan for the future. Working together, we will find a solution. I want to be a key part of helping my client’s business grow and flourish. I want my clients to feel comfortable knowing I have only their best interest in mind. My goal is to build a partnership with my clients for years to come as a valued, trusted resource.
