I am a 2010 graduate from the University of Oregon School of Law.  I clerked for the Lane County Circuit Court from 2010 to 2011.  I started practicing law in Roseburg, Oregon where I worked in private practice doing criminal defense, delinquency defense, dependency defense and family law.  In 2016, I left private practice and became a public defender so that I can focus 100% of my practice to helping clients without worrying about their ability to pay.  I moved back to Lane County where I grew up, and joined Public Defender Services of Lane County, Inc. where I do almost exclusively dependency defense, representing children and parents in juvenile court when DHS has alleged abuse and/or neglect in the family.
