Having gone through the experience of navigating divorce, custody and raising a child as a solo parent, I have been able to use my personal journey to offer select clients the support of an on-call resource to take them through the difficult process of divorce. I understand what each step of the process is like to go through, and as a trained Collaborative Attorney, Certified Mediator and Certified Life Coach, can offer insight and assistance to the client to move through the process with the goal of the end result leaving them on a better path than when they started. I am passionate about the needs of children throughout the process and will assist the client in keeping the best interest of any children involved in the forefront of their goals. With my “Concierge Attorney” approach, I am able to utilize my wide range of contacts throughout the community and beyond, to assist the client in matters that may arise as a result of a change in their circumstance, should it be a need for a real estate broker, banker, financial or tax advisor, counseling, or seeking a new career path.

While still in school, I became involved with the management of my family businesses. I bring years of experience in business, oil and gas, real estate and Trust management to my practice of law. I assist clients in determining the best course of action when combined assets are at stake in a divorce, as well as how to preserve that wealth for their children. This business experience also lends to my ability to negotiate positive outcomes for clients in other areas of legal practice as well, including contracts, real estate, business, and various types of disputes. I successfully negotiated a student disciplinary action for a PhD. Candidate, securing not only their degree but ability to reap the rewards that may otherwise have been denied. My combination of tact and tenacious negotiating skills have worked to the advantage of personal injury clients, providing them with a much more substantial award than had they without the benefit of my skills. I am always continuing to work on professional development, especially seeking to hone new methods for dispute resolution out of the courtroom.
