My law practice has been primarily a litigation practice in both state and federal courts. Since 1994 I have also developed an alternative dispute resolution practice primarily as a mediator.  I have also served as an arbitrator, collaborative lawyer, special master and parent coordinator.. My mediation experience includes family matters, employment law, personal injury, contract law and statutory remedies.. I am listed in The Best  Lawyers in America in both mediation and family law mediation.  Best Lawyers named me the St. Louis Family Law Mediator for 2012  and 2014 and the St. Louis Mediator of the year for 2013 and 2015.  I am also selected to Martindale-Hubbell Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers and have been named a Missouri & Kansas Super Lawyer by Law & Politics magazine each year since 1995.

I am an attorney, my husband is an attorney, my father is an attorney and my daughter is an attorney. My daughter has been working in my law firm for seven and a half years.  My husband joined the firm in November, 2014. This addition has expanded our practice into the areas of Workmans Compensation and Personal Injury law.  In 2020, we also expanded our practice into the area of Custody and Child Support Mediation. Our law firm is dedicated to truly listening to the client and helping the client make it through a difficult time, whether it be a divorce , a child custody issue, a child support issue, the death of a family member and the probate of their estate, a guardianship of a loved one who can no longer take care of their own needs, a car accident  or an injury at work and the physical and financial difficulties that can entail or some other difficult situation.  Our ultimate goal is to see each client as an individual and make sure that more than just their legal needs are met.  However, since this is a law firm, our number one priority is making sure that we understand every aspect of our client's case and advocate strongly for our client's position. Call our law firm to participate in a complimentary 10 minute strategy session phone call.  In that phone call we will define the legal issues in your case and determine how we can help you get the results that you want.  You'll know by the end of the phone call whether you should hire us to help you win your case.
