I have focused my practice entirely on Family Law since 2013. In addition to being a lawyer, I am a mother to five children, a divorcee, a wife, a child advocate, and a passionate business owner and entrepreneur. I enjoy developing relationships with various local professionals in our community who often play a significant role in the outcome of family law matters. By maintaining relationships with local experts such as co-parenting counselors, forensic accountants, judicial officers, mediators, and child custody evaluators, I firmly believe that my clients benefit from a more holistic approach to legal problem-solving.

I handle each case individually because it is personal for each client.  With over 25 years of actual practice experience concentrating primarily criminal/DUI defense and family/domestic law primarily in Northern Kentucky (Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties) as well as Cincinnati, Ohio.. In my posts here and on my blog, I often refer to my family since that is the most important piece of life. I feel that it is important to my practice and my ability to provide service that I maintain a separate family and social life away from the office. This realization helps me remember why I am a lawyer and how important family is to my clients.. Aside from law, I enjoy gym, running, golfing to get my mind away from the office. I also enjoy new restaurants and travel to the many islands, particularly in the Caribbean where I always read a new book or 3. I also regularly follow my son on the college track circuit.

I am a lifelong resident of New Orleans. I attended Benjamin Franklin Senior High School, graduated from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, and returned home to attend Loyola Law School. After graduating, I represented a wide variety of clients in many different legal situations. During my years of practice, I was exposed to a broad spectrum of legal issues that arise in succession-related matters. I enjoy working with clients and helping them through an often challenging time. I understand the complications that come with the death of a loved one and the stress of having to deal with these issues while still grieving. I also know the importance of taking the time to understand a client’s unique circumstances, the personalities of the people involved, and their family dynamic, all of which play a role in the succession process.. Family has always been important to me. When I am not in the office I am spending time with my husband and our three sons, socializing with friends, volunteering, cooking, or walking our dogs.

I am a former Marine Sergeant, and retired Soldier.  During my military years I was deployed to Somalia for Operation Restore Hope and to Southwest Asia for Operation Iraqi Freedom.  Combat has left me appreciative of life and prepared me for my current occupation.. I am an experienced defense lawyer, and take my obligations to my clients seriously. I stay up to date on the latest legal research, have taken hundreds of hours of specialized training in criminal defense.. I am a father of 3 children, and have been married for 27 years.
