Combining my passion for the law with compassion for clients I am able to assist families through the turmoil of difficult family law situations.

I am an associate attorney at Hanshaw Kennedy Hafen, PLLC in Frisco, Texas.

Throughout law school I gained family law experience at the Legal Aid Society of Lubbock, Inc. and the Office of the Attorney General - Child Support Division. This experience has provided me with the knowledge and ability to help clients navigate the child support system in Texas.

I work primarily in the following areas:

Divorce

Child Custody

Child Support

Paternity

Adoption

Post Divorce Modifications

Enforcement Actions

Wills

Powers of Attorney

Advance Directive to Physicians

Probate

Practice Areas

• Divorce
• Child Support/Attorney General
• Post Divorce Modification
• Enforcement Actions
• Adoption
• Child Custody
• Paternity

Experience

Combining my passion for the law with compassion for clients, I will help guide you through the legal system toward the best possible solutions to your family law concerns. 

I did not step foot in a courtroom until law school. That experience helps me understand clients who are unfamiliar with the law and gives me the ability to explain legal procedure and terminology in a way that is more accessible and relatable. In law school, I worked for Legal Aid Society of Lubbock, Inc. and the Office of the Attorney General, Child Support Division. In both positions, I dealt with a wide array of family law issues, and those experiences have given me the unique understanding of Attorney General’s Child Support Office to get results for my clients. 

My husband and I live in Princeton, Texas with two wonderful dogs, and we are expecting our first baby in May 2012.
