Experience, skill and compassion. With over 20 years of defending people who need me I can help. Being charged with a crime may be the worst thing that has ever happened to you or your family. Making sure you get the best result possible is my goal. I’ve handled cases in courtrooms all over Missouri. I can be there for you.

After receiving a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Missouri I attended South Texas College of Law. I am a member of the Missouri Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. Participating in these organizations helps keep me informed. I have been recognized as a Super Lawyer (Missouri-Kansas) and received the Women's Justice Award for trial work from Missouri Lawyers Weekly.

I am a Past President of the Springfield Metropolitan Bar Association and continue to serve the bar on the Greene County Bench and Bar Committee.
