As an attorney my goal is to help my clients navigate the legal process in the most fair and equitable manner with the least amount of stress possible for the client and their children.  However, I don't rose-color the situation for my clients.  I believe in honesty and integrity in my practice and do not bend in that regard.  Part of being a good lawyer, in my opinion, is being able to tell a client when they are not being reasonable or when their expectations are skewed.  As attorneys we do not have a crystal ball to know what the future may bring, but we can certainly stand by them as they walk through the tunnel to the other side.  I'd like to think my clients see me as someone they can trust to walk them through that tunnel.. When I'm not practicing law, I prefer to spend my time with my husband and kids.  In the winter, we ski; in the summer, we're at the ball park.  I think it's important for children to see their parents volunteering, so I volunteer with the legal clinic here in Eau Claire, our local baseball league, church, and sit on the board of Wisconsin Association for Perinatal Care.
