Professional Experience

I began my career as a Deputy District Attorney litigating well over one hundred trials, and spending many hours in the courtroom. When I left the DA’s office to open a private practice, I combined my passion for justice with my courtroom experience to provide my clients well-rounded legal services. Since I began practicing in 1999, I have gained experience in both state and federal courts, in civil and criminal matters. My experience and dedication to achieving the best result for my clients are apparent in the many successful matters I have handled. I now focus my practice on all types of family law matters.

What My Clients Can Expect

My clients can expect quality service based on years of experience and education, as well as passionate advocacy for my clients and clients’ children. In addition to direct experience in and outside the courtroom, I have continued my education in the area of family law to stay current with the constant changes and updates in this area of law. I have also given my personal time as a volunteer for many years on the Board of Directors for the Sexual Assault Resource Center, thereby furthering my contacts and information in the legal community and beyond. As a person deeply committed to family, I understand the needs of individual families as well as the safeguards necessary to create, maintain and protect each member of the family. Whether my clients need assistance in adoption, surrogacy, custody arrangements, or a strong and reasonable advocate when relationships dissolve and divorce occurs, you can count on me to be knowledgeable, supportive, and compassionate.

Outside Activities and Personal

My husband, Andrew, and I are kept busy raising our two amazing daughters. In my free time I can usually be found shuttling the girls to one of their many activities, or entertaining them. I am also an avid equestrian, and keep up with my horse habit by giving riding lessons on each of my family’s three horses. I volunteer my time with two separate animal rescue organizations, and provide a horse for children to ride that may not otherwise have such an opportunity.

As a mother, I want to provide a good example to my children that doing what one loves in a manner that brings you joy is the epitome of success. I look forward to treating your family with the respect and dignity you deserve.
