I was born in Denver, Colorado but have spent most of my life in Central Ohio. I graduated from Dublin Scioto High School and received a Bachelor of Arts degree from The Ohio State University, majoring in International Studies with a specialization in Security and Intelligence. I received a Juris Doctor degree from Capital University Law School. During law school I was a staff member of the Capital University Law Review and participated in numerous externships, including a clerkship with the Federal District Court in the Southern District of Ohio. I was admitted to the Ohio Bar in November 2011.. Prior to attending law school, I worked in a small litigation practice that focused on workers' compensation and personal injury cases.  After graduating, I worked for a small firm that focused on workers' compensation claims at the administrative level.  I was asked to take on Social Security disability cases, and over the next five years built a thriving SSD practice from the ground up.  In 2017, I left that firm to follow my dreams and open my own practice with my partner, Christopher Yeager.  We now represent injured workers in hearings before the Industrial Commission and assist with appeals in both the Ohio Courts of Common Pleas and the Tenth District Court of Appeals. I continue to represent claimants seeking Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income benefits at all levels - from initial applications for benefits to appeals before the Social Security Administration and the United States District Court. In addition, I represent State of Ohio employees in their claims for OPERS, STRS, and SERS disability benefits.

I represent professionals seeking initial professional licensure or who are the subject of an investigation or discipline by their professional licensure board.. Most of my clients have never been the subject of any type of investigation, public discipline or peer review process. Some of my clients are struggling with chemical dependency, addiction or a mental or physician condition that threatens their ability to practice their profession.. This can be a stressful and overwhelming time. I take time with each client to listen to their questions, concerns and fears and to explain the process in which they find themselves.

I litigate civil rights cases because I believe in them.  I believe in the right to free speech, the right of citizens' to be secure in their own homes, and the right to be free from false prosecutions and excessive force at the hands of the police.  This is why I went to law school, and why I have spent the last 13 years fighting for my clients as hard as I possible can. If we do not protect our rights, no one will protect them for us.

I know that it is standard practice in law to have scales or a gavel or some other symbol that says “attorney”.  But I wanted to choose a symbol that didn’t just stand for the practice of law, but that represented my purpose for practicing law.. The Owl represents Athena- who is the Greek goddess of wisdom, prudent warfare and guardian of people. For centuries, Athena has symbolized an astute companion and protector of those who are embarking on dangerous journeys or facing struggles.. I practice law with the goal in mind to help people when they need it the most-when they are facing legal issues.  They don’t call them “legal battles” because they are easy.. From the time we first meet until the case is resolved I will be your advocate, your companion in your journey, and will work diligently to protect your rights.  You are not alone.  I will be with you every step of the way.
