I have lived and practiced family law in Colorado since 2005, after moving from Massachusetts, where I began practicing law in 1990, and New Hampshire, where I became licensed in 1995.  While I had a more varied practice on the east coast, including civil litigation, family law, social security disabilty, equine law, and assisting veterans with benefit claims, I have focused exclusively on representation of parties in family law disputes for the past 21 years.  I take great pride in representing people who are trying to move forward from highly stressful conflicts with a former spouse or signficant other.  Neither the disputes nor the legal process are very easy to naviagte for parties involved in family law litigation.  People are frightened that they will lose their assets, their home and access to their children.  I help people move through the legal system as smoothly as possible and I advocate on their behalf to recieve the most assets and access to their children that the law provides in their specific situation.. I recognize that for the vast majority of people, mediation is a less stressful and more cost effective manner of resolving their disputes.  Therefore, I completed mediation training through the Colorado Bar Association and have been mediating family law disputes and resolving disputes for couples in conflict since 2008.

I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Connecticut in 2005 with a Bachelors of Science in Human Development and Family Studies, with honors. In 2008, I graduated magna cum laude and order of the curia from Capital University Law School, in Columbus, Ohio.. Along with receiving my law degree, I received a certification in Children and Family Law. During law school, I received the Cali Book Award for Academic Excellence in Secured Transactions and worked as a Legal Research and Writing Teaching Assistance for first year law students.  I also volunteered at the National Center for Adoption Law and Policy and worked as a law clerk for the Honorable Judge Peggy Walker in Douglasville, Georgia. While in Georgia, I assisted Judge Walker in creating a nationally presented project called Putting the Pieces Together: Promoting Resiliency in Children from Birth to Three. This presentation educated professionals on the best practices and procedures to meet the unique needs of the youngest children in foster care, by promoting safety, permanency and resiliency.. I completed an intensive interdisciplinary collaborative practice training sponsored by the Collaborative Law Institute of Illinois in November of 2009.  I have also taken several Level II Collaborative trainings.   As a Collaborative Professional, I am trained to assist parties in settling family conflicts without going to Court.

I am a native of Denver and have practiced law for more than 40 years.  I have learned that each client and their respective cases are each very unique and have therefore focused on solving problems creatively to meet each client’s unique needs in resolving disputes and protecting their interests.  I attempt to bring an innovative approach to each case with a genuine regard to achieving what will ultimately be in the best interests of my clients.
