About Me

I was born and raised in Michigan. I graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in accounting. My first job, beginning when I was a senior in high school, and continuing while earning my undergraduate degree, was as an endodontic (root canal) assistant. That experience taught me how to best care for people in stressful situations. I still draw on that experience for my clients today.

I graduated from Willamette Law school with my J.D degree in 1985; my first employment post-law school was as a tax attorney with a multinational accounting firm. Then, I started my own family law practice in 1993, focusing on families and children. Since 1995 I have been doing adoptions, and have done literally thousands.

I am the mother of two adult daughters, so I know how much it means to be a parent. When I am out of the office I enjoy reading (preferably historical fiction and novels that give insight into other cultures), cycling, and traveling.

About My Family Law Practice

When I decided to focus on family law, I knew I wanted to really be available for my clients. Being a solo-practitioner allows me to do that. That means when my clients call, they get to talk to me. With me, you can expect prompt calls back and to never be left in the dark on the process for your case. 

I limit my caseload to 10 active cases at a time. That means I’m promptly accessible to the families I’m serving.

It’s important to me that families have access to legal help when they need it. As part of my service to your family, I talk through all available options for your case and the probable costs associated. Then with my 30 years of attorney experience, I honestly communicate probable chances of success for each of those options. Helping you through a cost/benefit analysis of legal options for your family is a core tenet of my practice.
