I'm an attorney specializing in elder law, estate planning, commercial leasing, contracts, negotiation, and business structures. I've handled issues large and small, from a multi-million dollar division of a complex family real estate portfolio to simple wills. I've represented tenants and landlords in lease negotiations, drafted operating agreements for start-up small businesses, and saved clients hundreds of thousands of dollars through long-term care planning. I'm an accomplished problem solver and critical thinker; I can learn to do anything quickly and do it well. My focus is caring for my clients' ultimate needs, which can be hidden behind misunderstandings, justified emotions, and lack of access to the law. I make sure my clients are partners with me on their issues, so that they can fully understand the issues and be confident in the solutions. Outside of the office I love novels, creative writing, climbing, snow sports, hiking, trees, teaching, and my family (especially my dog Oak).

I was born on May 8, 1959. Before attending law school, I ran ski lifts, picked apples, painted houses, taught skiing, and worked as an adolescent and family counselor for a community action agency. I eventually went on to study law, graduating from Vermont Law School, summa cum laude (1st in my class) in 1990.After law school, I served as a law clerk at the Vermont Supreme Court. I entered private practice with a Burlington law firm in 1991, concentrating in professional malpractice cases, personal injury, and general litigation. In 1998, I decided to open my own solo practice, 100% dedicated to helping injured Vermonters, visitors, and their families in serious personal injury and wrongful death cases.. I am board-certified as a Civil Trial Specialist by the the National Board of Trial Advocacy.. In 2006, I was honored to be among 50 trial attorneys from around the United States selected to attend the intensive 22-day Trial Lawyers College, in Wyoming, founded by the legendary trial lawyer, Gerry Spence. In 2010, I served on the Faculty of the College.. Martindale-Hubbell, the oldest and perhaps most highly-recognized independent attorney review and rating service in the United States, has awarded me its highest rating, "AV - Preeminent.". From 2007 through 2014, I have been chosen by my peers to be included as a "Super Lawyer" in New England Super Lawyers Magazine.. From 2010 to 2011, I served as President of the Vermont Association for Justice (VTAJ). I am also a proud member of the American Association for Justice (AAJ), and serve on the Board of Governors of the Association.Many lawyers call themselves "litigators." But to a large degree, "litigation" consists of throwing lots of paper at the other side, but very rarely if ever taking a case to trial. I am proud to be a trial lawyer. I believe that when an attorney is ready and able to take a case to trial, the client is much more likely to get justice.Some personal injury lawyers have high-volume practices, advertising heavily on high-cost radio and TV ad campaigns. Some of these "settlement mills" take on hundreds of new cases each year, hoping to quickly settle as many cases as possible. I do not operate that way. I run a small, client-centered law practice, focusing on the individualized needs of a small number of clients. I advertise minimally, and take on only a few new cases each year. I limit the cases I handle to those involving serious, life-changing personal injuries, such as permanent back and neck injuries, fractures, burns, paralysis, disfigurement, or death.By keeping my overhead and case-volume low, I am able to handle each case personally from start to finish. I never pawn my clients off on a junior associate or paralegal. I work closely with each of my clients, to learn about their lives and to discover and tell the story behind their cases.  For more information visit my web-site: .

I am an attorney with a breadth of experience touching upon all aspects of litigation. Currently, I am an Associate with Lynn, Lynn, Blackman & Manitsky, P.C.. As a law clerk for Judge Azrack, I was trained in federal trial practice and researched and wrote on issues involving federal law.

While at the Vermont Supreme Court, I researched and wrote on issues of constitutional significance and was submersed in appellate practice here in Vermont. As an Associate at Dinse, Knapp & McAndrew in the firm's litigation department, I provided stellar representation to institutions and private individuals primarily in the civil and commercial context.
