Biography

I wasn’t born into the legal profession. Growing up, the thought of becoming a lawyer never crossed my mind. My legal journey began on the same dirt road as many of you that are reading this is on … as a client. I had a child very young and sought legal advice about my visitation rights.

My years of non-profit management working with both the elderly and individuals with disabilities also instilled a level of personal care that I invoke with all my clients.
