I came into the law practice because I love people. I like to get to know them, understand their lives, and help make things better. I grew up in a small community, and I always thought lawyers were somewhat unsavory. But, my parents both ran small businesses, and I saw them encounter everyday legal problems, and through them, I learned that lawyers could provide invaluable help and assistance. I wanted to be someone who could be an expert, who could provides answers and possibilities. That led me to my passion for family law. My favorite part of my job is helping clients find their way through a legal maze and come out on the other side, having survived something life-changing.
