I was admitted to the bar as a lawyer in 2000 and have been practicing primarily in the family law area ever since.  Although I did some work in other areas up to 2003, my heart was always in family law matters.  That is why, since 2003, my practice has been devoted 100% to representing clients in divorce, custody and support matters.  In addition to my work as an advocate, I also am a trained and licensed family law mediator.  I have found that this helps me to better serve my clients both as a mediator and as an advocate.

My guiding principle in helping a client through a family law matter is to ensure my client’s protection.  Whether this means protecting children, protecting assets or protecting rights, my law practice is dedicated to protecting those things that matter most.  Sometimes I have had to tell a client that he or she is making a bad deal or is about to do something that is a bad idea.  Other times I have had to tell a client that his or her position is not going to be supported by the law.  In each instance, I am not shy about giving my client the best and most candid advice on how to handle his or her situation.

I have practiced extensively in the circuit, chancery and juvenile courts in Shelby, Fayette and Tipton counties.  That practice has allowed me to gain a level of familiarity with the judges and courtroom personnel that I can then use to help my clients attain their goal.

I have a husband and three kids which keeps me both grounded and very active.  In addition to my time with my family, I hold a black belt in Pa Sa Ryu Taekwondo and really enjoy Olympic weight lifting.
