My favorite part of being a lawyer is hands down the connections I’m able to form with my clients. I’ve always been a people person, and I love the personal aspect of advocating on behalf of someone. I’ve been fortunate enough to attend a top law school and work in a variety of law firms and offices, representing everyone from everyday Arizona locals to large, multinational corporations. I’ve represented insurance companies and gained invaluable insight into how they operate and evaluate cases. Though I’m thankful for the experience, I much prefer representing the underdog.. My approach to cases is to, in a sense, work backwards. I work in collaboration with my clients to come up with the ideal result and then figure out the most straightforward route to get there. From there, my job is to execute on that strategy without cutting corners, while always keeping the lines of communication open.. Outside of work, I’m constantly challenging myself with new hobbies. On any given day you can find me golfing with friends, working on my Brazilian jiu-jitsu, cooking, or playing my guitar.

I help small business owners with their business adventures. We work as a team on everything from formation to liquidity.

I also love to visit new restaurants and other businesses in the area. During my free time, I spend a lot of time with my beautiful puppy and wonderful family.

I began my career as an inspired entrepreneur with a big idea. Starting a company isn’t easy, but I was surprised at how difficult it was to work with an attorney. I saw this as an opportunity and pivoted to pursue a career as a legal professional. After graduating from a top law school and working at respected Arizona firms, I co-founded Glide Legal. I’ve focused my career on providing legal counsel to entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes, from national corporations to local Arizona start-ups and family run businesses..

I am passionate about helping clients achieve their goals.. I have over 20 years of experience in law and business. My practice focuses on two areas: (1) helping injured people seek justice, and (2) business/real estate transactions. I have personal experience in both areas -- my first plaintiffs' personal injury case was my own, and I've owned several businesses.  Having a broad range of experiences and skills helps me better understand client needs, as well as to find and obtain creative, common sense, pragmatic and successful solutions to client problems.. I see myself as a holistic lawyer. What I mean is that your legal situation is usually only one part of the puzzle, and there can be other things you have to consider. When looking for the best outcome, you can’t pretend the other pieces of the puzzle don’t exist.. In my "free time", I enjoy yoga, meditation, bicycling, tennis, scuba diving, travel and playing the piano.

I am a passionate and driven advocate for all of my clients. I have over six years of experience practicing law. Much of that time was spent developing my knowledge of labor and employment law matters. I have handled cases ranging from unpaid overtime to discrimination in the workplace to professional licensing discipline to breach of contract. My experience includes consulting with clients and small businesses, drafting and executing contracts, litigating complex civil matters, deposing witnesses and experts, appearing on behalf of clients at administrative hearings, and avocating at civil jury trial.. My clients know that I am attentive, energetic, willing to take measured risks, and willing to be aggressive. I will work efficiently and strategically to be your voice in the court system. My goal is to fight for my clients, give them their opportunity to be heard at trial by their peers, and strive to hold bad actors accountable.. While my experience has tended to focus on individuals and their claims, I have also spent dozens of hours working with small businesses to protect them from liability for discrimination and retaliation claims and claims brought under the National Labor Relations Act. If you are a small business owner requiring affordable and effective legal advice for handling employee complaints, feel free to contact me. I will work hard to ensure both from an employer and employee standpoint that communication is encouraged, that employers are respected, and that employees are content with their situations.
