I’ve been helping others find a fresh start through bankruptcy and divorce for almost 20 years.  

When I was in law school I just happened to be working for a bankruptcy attorney.  One of my first cases was a couple whose daughter suffered from a brain tumor, and after a multitude of surgeries and treatments, the family was left with bills in excess of $200,000 after insurance.  They had no choice but to file bankruptcy and get some reprieve from the overwhelming amount of bills necessary to save their daughter. 

Soon after, I met a young mother who had an inordinate amount of debt.  She got pregnant by the love of her life, and the young man convinced her to buy a car along of a myriad of other items of value in her name.  When the baby came, the young man took off with the car, leaving this penniless young mother alone with a baby and a ton of debt.  This woman’s only option to get back on her feet was through a bankruptcy. 

Case by case, I started to see how bankruptcy provided opportunities for people in unfortunate circumstances to realize a fresh start and decided to dedicate myself to this practice of law.  Every day I take pride in helping my clients work towards a brighter future whether it’s through bankruptcy or divorce. 

I have lived in the Hampton Roads area for over 20 years with my husband of 27 years, Harry.  Before moving here, I served in the military for 5 years. I grew up in a small town in Eastern Oregon, where my father had a small business. I had three brothers and all of us served in the military.
