I focus my advocacy on student disciplinary processes, specifically at the college administrative level. This includes advisement in university conduct proceedings from investigations through appeals; academic misconduct accusations; Title IX cases; student organization defense; and specific hazing education and risk management advice for Greek organizations, sports teams, and clubs.. Prior to starting Albeit Masters, LLC, I co-founded and grew an education specific law firm for almost a decade, practiced as defense counsel to a prominent Columbus insurance litigation firm, and served as a defense attorney on criminal and traffic matters, gaining valuable litigation and courtroom experience.. I am recently certified in Hazing Education Prevention and represent a number of student organizations in various capacities. I currently serve as a university appointed Title IX advisor for certain higher ed institutions, defending students accused of sexual misconduct. Additionally, I was appointed Public Defender for Bexley, Ohio Mayor's Court in 2019 and remain committed to defending those accused of misdemeanor and traffic crimes.. I am passionate about defending college students in code of conduct complaints, accusations of academic misconduct/cheating, Title IX matters, and student organizations facing investigations into hazing allegations or risk management policies. This area of law is particularly nuanced and fast changing, and I strive to provide encompassing representation and advice to my clients and their families.

I consider myself very lucky.  Some of my early experiences are unique in my generation.  I started my education in a true one room school house in a rural area of upstate New York.  K through 8th grade in a single room with a coal stove as the only heat.  I was only there for two years, but I always felt protected by the older kids.. In 1956 my paternal grandfather died, and we moved back to the farm where my Dad was raised, a small town called Nassau, also upstate and not to be confused with the county on Long Island.  His Great Uncle was still operating the farm as his parents had.  A handful of cows, milked by hand.  Two draft horses to pull the various ancient pieces of equipment.  Loose hay, pitched onto the wagon by hand.  I can't say that I loved it, but you never fully recover from sheer hard work!!  And you don't suffer from it either.. I can contrast these truly bucolic pictures with working my way through law school in Columbus as a clerk in a Hospital Emergency Room.  The contrast between pitching hay on a warm summer day and dealing with the consistently stressed out people who populate an urban ER could not be greater.. For a number of years while practicing law I also had the privilege of being a supernumerary in the local opera company productions.  My high point was portraying a high church official, in the spotlight, with one of the stars, the evil Baron Scarpia, kneeling at my feet.  These non-singing, silent roles RARELY involve more than filling up the stage.  A brief moment in the spotlight for a fellow who can't sing a note was an outstanding memorable moment.. It has been a lot of fun, and always interesting.  I've been lucky.

I concentrate my practice on defending personal and commercial insurance lines claims, as well as the representation of health care professionals including physicians and health care facilities. I earned a Bachelor of Science from Franklin University in 1990. I previously served 20 years in the United States Army Reserve and retired as a Captain.

Following graduation from law school, I served in the Ohio Court of Claims as a Magistrate and Staff Attorney. Additionally, he served as an Assistant Attorney General under Betty Montgomery. In 2002, I joined the law firm Arnold, Todaro and Welch where I concentrated my practice in medical and legal malpractice defense matters. I tried numerous medical malpractice cases throughout various Ohio venues in both State and Federal Court. I have also successfully defended attorneys and legal professionals in legal malpractice actions and disciplinary proceedings before the Board of Commissioners on Grievance and Discipline. I have argued twice before the Ohio Supreme Court. I am licensed before all state and federal courts in Ohio, as well as in the United States Supreme Court.

I was born and raised in Ohio and I enjoy cycling, watching college sports, and spending time with my husband, Bryce and two dogs, River and Kava.

I believe that to be able to adequately evaluate a case and advise a client an attorney must have experience dealing with cases in court. I have handled cases in nearly half of Ohio's 88 counties. It is this experience that allows me the ability to negotiate favorable resolutions outside of the courtroom as well as obtain them in the courtroom.. I believe in a dual focus approach to litigation. I feel that an attorney should always work to resolve a case without a trial to avoid the costs, both financially and emotionally, that clients have with litigation. I also believes at the same time that an attorney should be preparing the case for trial. This dual focus allows the attorney to be prepared for all issues that arise and provide the client with the best alternatives and results in their cases.. An attorney that is experienced in the courtroom and is not afraid to litigate a case can often provide a better perspective for clients on the reasonableness of their position as well as the likelihood of succeeding on various issues by litigation.. My passion for Family Law has given me the opportunity to also teach future lawyers. I serve as an Adjunct Professor of Law at The Ohio State University Micheal E. Moritz College of Law. At OSU, I developed a teach a course on Divorce Trial Practice.

I believe that if you are involved in a situation where you feel that you may need an attorney, you should not hesitate to contact one.  Many lawyers will take the time to talk with you about your problem(s), advise you about your rights, help prepare a plan and then advise you about whether or not you actually need to hire an attorney.  Many times, you will not need to go any further beyond this initial consultation.  But if you do, it is best to have your attorney involved from the beginning so that the right strategy is in place to protect you and to help ensure that your claim is resolved timely.  Do not hesitate to call an attorney for an initial consultation.. I truly enjoy helping individuals and companies with a variety of different cases as it keeps my practice ineteresting and well informed on the law.  I am always grateful when I can be involved early in the case so that a specialized strategy can be put into place for a client in hopes that we can resolve the claim early and if not, we can have our claim ready for suit and then focus the pressure on the other side.  I believe that a well prepared claim is much like a game of chess with a touch of contact sport, such as rugby.  You need to know how to be subtle and how to plan well into the future, but you also need to know when to be aggressive.  There is no other aspect of the law quite like litigation.

I began my career defending claims involving medical malpractice, product liability and employer intentional tort.  For the past 15 years I've represented individuals who have suffered permanent and profound personal injury due to the negoigence of others.  I take pride in developing relationships with my clients throughout the life of their claims so I can provide them the individual counsel necessary to properly develop each unique case.  I pride myself on being available to each of my clients to promptly address their needs and concerns whenever they arise. I encourage you to visit my firm's website at

I am often asked why I would choose to be a domestic attorney. I will openly admit that family law can be contentious and straining at times. However, nothing compares to the feeling of knowing you helped a family resolve their issues in a manner that will allow for them to move forward in their new lives in the most amicable way possible. Though it is not always possible or the best approach, where it is I believe it is important to guide clients to an amicable resolution of their matrimonial and/or custody disputes to allow them to remain focused on and use their resources for the future of the children. Even where children are not involved, aiding clients in focusing on their future rather than the past can lead to a much less stressful and less expensive resolution to their matrimonial issues, something I take great pride in accomplishing. Of course, in family law, negotiations can often break down or are not possible due to various factors. In these situations, I understand the complex nature of family law matters and have experience handling intense litigation in these areas. I strive to represent my clients best interest in a firm, yet ethical manner while always remaining cognizant of the impact the process can have on the daily lives of the parties involved.

Having litigated cases for 23 years, I know how anxious my clients get. The case seems to take forever and their lives are on hold. At least that is what they tell me. I just knew there had to be a better way to resolve differences. When I found Collaborative Law, I knew that was it. Not only does this process address the legal disagreement, it strives to help clients make peace with the situation. Without acceptance, the situation just returns in the client's life. That does not do anyone any good. It just promotes a revolving door of litigation. The better solution is to resolve the matter so that the client can move on with his or her life. Helping my client actually resolve a problem is who I am.
