I have exclusively practiced family law for the entirety of my legal career. I have successfully resolved hundreds of cases both in and out of court. I was raised primarily in West Michigan. I earned my Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice from Grand Valley State University and law degree from Western Michigan University-Cooley Law School. My legal career began in Colorado, helping families navigate divorce, legal separation, child custody, child support, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements and spousal support matters. I moved back to Michigan in 2021 and now resides there with my husband, son, dog and cat. I continue to represent clients through all types of family law cases in Michigan. I am passionate about helping others navigate uncertain and challenging times in their lives. I believe the gateway to helping a client rewrite their story is to listen and understand their background and create goals to move forward.

I have been practicing law since 1984. During that time, I have come to the conclusion that the practice of law is as much about managing relationships as it is the pure application of the law. As a result, I have endeavored to provide legal representation to my clients from a Christian perspective, which promotes an atmosphere of trust, and results in lasting relationships with those clients.

I care fiercely about my clients.  I have seen what insurance companies and businesses do to those that have been injured at the hands of negligent, careless, and irresponsible individuals and companies.  I will fight to the end for you to obtain the best result possible for your case.

I attended Michigan State University from 1986-1990 and earned a bachelor of arts degree in accounting. I then went on to obtain my law degree in 1993 from Indiana University (ranked among the top 20 law schools in the country). After graduating, I moved to Grand Rapids and have been practicing law there for over 23 years. I enjoy sail boat racing, traveling and arts and crafts.
