I grew up in Central Ohio and returned after completing my undergraduate degree at Ohio University. My first responsibility as an attorney is to listen. I need to understand where the client is at and where the client wants to be when the litigation is over to know what direction to take and how aggressive we need to be. I also keep in mind all the costs associated with court-- the financial, the emotional, and the relationship costs. We will work together as a team to try to get you through this time in your life.

It is ideal for parents to keep control by reaching amicable resolutions, but rarely are clients in an ideal situation when they need an attorney. For that reason, I am ready to advocate for my client if settlement is not possible or in you and your child's best interest.
