Prior to becoming a partner at Smart, Connell, Childers & Verhulp, PS in 2009, the bulk of my practice was insurance defense litigation for over 10 years.  I also had the privilege in working in lawfirms that did everything but family or criminal law so was able to obtain experience in a number of areas of law before focusing my practice to personal injury claims and litigation.  Since 2009, I have been blessed to be able to focus my practice on helping injured people.  This includes car accidents, wrongful death, head injuries and even on-the-job injuries.  I look forward to many more years of helping people in my community when tragedy strikes.
