Originally from the Midwest, I came south to escape the cold and to pursue my life's path of helping others. Helping those around me recognize, claim, and use their voice - that is what I have spent my adult life doing - first as a counselor, and now as an attorney.. For years, I saw how the law seemed out of reach and completely foreign to many in our communities. I am here to make the law approachable, useful, and to ensure my client's voice is always heard..

I grew up in a small, rural town in North Carolina where family is an essential aspect of everyone’s life. I came to value the importance of family and what it means when a family goes through a divorce or custody dispute. All families see challenges in many forms from time to time. I realized that more than anything, I just wanted to help all involved. This inspired me to be the first in my family to complete my undergraduate studies. After attending Wingate University in Wingate, North Carolina and working around Charlotte, I knew I wanted my life to have a deeper impact. I then attended Charlotte School of Law in Charlotte, North Carolina to obtain my juris doctorate. This helped me to reach my goal be able to advocate for and assist the people of North Carolina and help those families I had come to love.. As an attorney, my goal is for each client to find peace and a reasonable resolution for their family. As an advocate for my clients, I want them to be heard but also empowered with the facts and laws surrounding their case so we can work together to find a path forward. I’ve watched the detrimental effects that pro-longed litigation can cause on a family unit both, emotionally and financially. I understand that people come to me in some of their darkest times for help and that they want to move forward in a positive light; I have the tools and power to help them do so. I appreciate the opportunity to get to know your family and entrusting me with managing healthy expectations and goals for your case.. I pride myself on being professional and prepared for the task at hand. I enjoy getting to know clients through this process. My passion for helping others extends beyond the legal realm. I have been involved in raising money for the Alzheimer’s Association for several years as it is an organization that is near to my heart. Additionally, I use my talents to help victims in domestic violence situations through volunteering with Safe Alliance and by helping children through the Council for Children’s Rights.. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my husband, our two children, and our three dogs. I also enjoy running and listening to a good podcast!

I am passionate about the law and I care about my clients. These qualities make me a strong advocate to have on your side during this very difficult time in your life. As a mother, I know how much your children mean to you and how you would do anything to shelter them from harm. Children are often the innocent victims in their parents’ divorce. While it may be impossible to shield them entirely from the impact of your divorce, I will work with you to minimize the impact on your children as much as possible. My goal is to educate you regarding North Carolina law and how it applies to your case, so that you understand all your options. Divorce can be a terrifying experience, but I will empower you with the knowledge of what to expect every step of the way. I majored in mathematics and then worked in the banking industry for many years prior to becoming an attorney, so I have a strong financial background to handle complex financial support and property division cases. I’ve represented clients in Brunswick, Forsyth, Davie, Davidson, Rowan, Alexander, Iredell, Catawba, Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Gaston and Union counties, on matters involving child custody, child support, equitable distribution, post-separation support, alimony, contempt, and breach of contract claims. Not every case requires litigation, and many cases can be resolved out of court using alternative dispute resolution methods such as collaborative law, arbitration, and mediation. But if litigation becomes necessary, you can rely on my years of trial experience to protect your interests in the courtroom.

Good information is key to making an informed decision.  My clients are provided with specific legal and non-legal information related to their company, case, or matter so that any intended course of action is well reasoned, analyzed and is aligned with their goals and desired outcomes.
