I am a trial lawyer whose practice has focused on representing plaintiffs and their families in nursing home neglect, abuse, and wrongful death cases. Having had a loved one abused in a nursing home, I understand the pain, frustration, sadness, powerlessness, and guilt felt by the families of nursing home abuse and neglect victims. As a lawyer with Santen & Hughes, LPA, my practice is focused on rewriting the narrative: converting pain to comfort, frustration to relief, sadness to closure, powerlessness into holding others accountable, and guilt into validation.

I strongly believe in community and professional engagement. I am an active member of the American Association for Justice, the Ohio Association for Justice, the Ohio State Bar Association, the Cincinnati Bar Association, The National Trial Lawyers, and the Potter Stewart Inn of Court. I also volunteer with the Cub Scouts.
