I am a family law attorney who handles divorce, child custody, child support, adoption, prenuptial agreements, surrogacy agreements, grandparent visitation, contempt/enforcement actions, and motions to modify custody,visitation and child support. I have dedicated my practice exclusively to family law since 2005. I do not handle any other type of case. I practice family law because I have a sincere desire to help others through the difficult process of divorce. I am passionate about what I do and am always guided by what is in the best interests of the children involved in the cases that I handle. I am the sole owner of Columbia Family Law Group which was formed in 2013. Tana Benner and Myia McKenna are attorneys who work for me and whom I also believe share the same passion and dedication to the practice of helping others through the legal system when it comes to family law matters. I became a certified mediator in 2012. I have additional training through courses with the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. My group has also dedicated a substantial amount of time to learning about more efficient ways to practice law and to pass those savings onto our clients through additional training with Clio and the Missouri Solo and Small Firm Conference. Our firm believes in professional, honest, competent and thorough representation. Often our clients become our friends. We feel privileged to represent those who choose us to handle these types of difficult family law matters.
