I have a father who had a lengthy criminal past due to drug addiction. He got sober and got his life together but the mother of his child took their child elsewhere and denied any communication with his child. We worked hard together and he now has his son close to half the year! Unfortunately, this will likely be an ongoing fight due to the other parent constantly withholding parenting time, but we work through each battle as they come, giving the father more and more time with his son. It is great to see someone who struggled with the law in their younger years, sober up and fight so hard for his child to be sure his son has the best possible childhood!

I work hard and stay ethical.

Honestly, availability, and the willingness to listen.

It can be slightly important, but leaning on the law and researching your assigned judge's past rulings will get the same results.

During a free consultation, I listen to your needs, your struggles, and your desired outcome. I am able to give you a few legal goals we would have based on the information you provide and I am able to quote your legal fees.

I need your story and preferably an email to sent some follow-up information over. Once we have a signed agreement with each other, we will do an intake meeting either on the phone, on video, or in person.

The willingness to take the extra time to listen to you and work towards your goals.

Taking some of the stress off my client when they are able to hand their case over to me and feel some relief is the most rewarding at the beginning of every case. The relief on my client's face when the case is over is the most rewarding at the end of the case.

Photography, drawing, crocheting, knitting, kayaking, fishing, reading, I am full of interest!

As much as I can be. One of my favorite things to do in my community is answer legal questions at pro-bono legal clinics for clients who need help but can't afford it.
