I am a native of Asheville, North Carolina and had the opportunity to begin my legal career with the Buncombe County Public Defender’s Office in 2004 where I represented indigent defendants and juveniles charged with a wide range of criminal offenses.

In 2007, I launched my own firm and have worked hard to build a reputation in Western North Carolina as an attorney with vast knowledge in criminal law, and with an understanding of the practical dynamics of the local criminal court system. Advocating for the best possible outcome for my clients while making them aware of the variables related to their case is my practice philosophy..

I am a litigation attorney with more than 20 years' experience.  I am licensed in Washington, Hawaii and North Carolina.  Recently, I have relocated to the Asheville, North Carolina area, and I am a litigation attorney with the firm Allen Stahl & Kilbourne, PLLC.  Too often in legal matters, common sense and compassion are missing.  After practicing law for more than 20 years, I have developed exemplary skills as an attorney; however, I always bring common sense and compassion to the table with regard to my clients' situations.. I was raised in Southeast Asia as the dependent of a CIA field officer. Shortly after returning to the United States, I attended Vassar College and graduated with a dual degree in Old and Middle English and Music, with a minor in Physics.  I worked in New York City for several years, performing research related to the Stock Exchange, for Smith Barney.  I was raising my three young brothers at the time, and we eventually moved to Hawaii where I lived for 13 years.  There, I attended the William S. Richardson School of Law to obtain my J.D., graduating second in my class.  I was invited and participated in law review, while continuing to compete in moot court competitions. I always had a strong interest in litigation and advocacy, and during law school I participated in moot court competitions around the country.  I also participated as an editor on law review.  My husband and I left Hawaii in 2002, to settle in the Seattle area.  I started at a large Seattle firm, but find I do my best work in a smaller firm environment, where my focus can be on the client and getting results. I established my own firm so that I could offer my clients even more flexibility and where I could be available directly to them. I have now joined an up-and-coming firm of talented litigators in Asheville, North Carolina.. My practice is devoted to civil litigation with a focus on real estate, construction law, municipal law and appellate practice.  However, I have experience handling a wide variety of civil cases, including employment law, property damage claims, contract disputes and land use issues. I have handled administrative and APA cases.. I am accessible to my clients and personally handle their cases.  I am happy to meet with clients after work hours or on weekends to accommodate their work schedules.

I am licensed and in good standing in Washington, North Carolina and Hawaii.  I also have experience practicing at the appellate level, including before the Washington State Court of Appeals (Divisions I and II) and at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
