I have participated in the MS Walk since 1991 and am proud to have been a top 10 fundraiser for the past several years.. I enjoy all things sci-fi and enjoy traveling.

I have a strong belief the role of a family lawyer is to guide my clients through a process that is often complicated and stressful. Through my years of practice I have found the number one driving force behind the disputes is fear. Fear of the unknown has an incredibly powerful influence on both the parties. I feel it is important to advocate strongly on behalf of my clients, but part of that advocacy is a duty to redefine the family unit without destroying it. No two cases are ever the same and as such I carefully evaluate each and every individual's goals. I take an educational approach because I respect my client's ability to partake in the process. While I do my best to see whether we can resolve the issues without taking them before a Judge, I understand there are some issues which require judicial determination.. In the event one of my cases proceeds to the point of trial I make absolutely certain the case and my client are fully prepared. I take a realistic and straight forward approach to the trial. In my opinion there are very few cases which require judicial intervention if an attorney genuinely understands the laws and is familiar with the particular Judge assigned to the case. However, this does not necessarily translate into the opponent taking a realistic stance on the issues and this is an unfortunate obstacle to resolution without a trial.. Whenever I am consulted for a legal problem I always encourage my potential clients to interview more than one attorney. Why? Because you should trust who you hire; you must feel confident in communicating the good and the bad facts of your position; and you must feel confident with their knowledge and ability to competently assist you. If your situation was not important, you would not be seeking legal counsel - make sure the person you hire respects this above all else or you are in for disappointment.

I created my firm with one goal in mind: to help everyday people and business owners solve any legal problems and issues that they may face.  My office is a full-service practice to help clients, their friends, and families.  I value all of the relationships I have built over my many years of serving the people of Southern Wisconsin.. I am an experienced attorney with over 39 years of experience in private practice in Wisconsin.  I have helped clients with a wide range of legal issues.  I have successfully helped clients achieve their  goals in Family Law, Criminal and Traffic Defense, and litigation in commercial and probate cases.. I also help people and business and real estate  owners solve their financial problems by way of collection, foreclosure defense, bankruptcy, both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13, and eviction.. I can also help with estate planning, home and business purchases and sales, and personal injury, along with guardianship issues.. You may ask, how can one person do all of this, and do it well? It is from my many years of experience in Wisconsin Law, having dealt with these areas of law multiple times.. As a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a Bachelors' Degree in Finance, and a Law Degree, I feel privileged to serve our community, and look forward to helping you and your family.

I am an attorney, wife and mother of three. In my free time I enjoy playing tennis, practicing yoga, and doing just about anything with my family and our dog. I am also very involved with First Stage, a non-profit organization dedicated to transforming children's lives through theater.. I am happy to take the time to talk about whatever questions or concerns you might have related to your estate planning and probate needs. I pride myself on being able to communicate in a way that is effective and will work with you and be responsive to accomplish your goals timely.
