My mission as a Bankruptcy Attorney is to provide my clients with personal and individualized attention.

As such, I only practice bankruptcy which allows me to give my clients the attention they deserve.In addition to my work as an attorney, I have also worked for the Missouri Department of Social Services in both the Division of Family Services and the Division of Child Enforcement. I also worked as an Officer for the Missouri Department of Corrections - Probation and Parole.On a personal note, I enjoy spending time with my husband and son as well as biking, gardening and reading.

I started my first law practice with a partner shortly after graduating from Saint Louis University Law School in 2010.  When I started the firm, I realized that there were many law firms to serve clients who could afford to pay a thousand dollars per month or more for their matter and that legal services and charitable organizations are able to help those living under the poverty line, but there was a great unmet  need for legal services on a payment/installment plan basis.  I have made it my mission to meet this need and help ordinary people.. I focus my practice on divorce, child custody, and support.  I also handle criminal cases.  At Flesner Wentzel, we have attorneys who focus in many practice areas so that we can give holistic and practical legal services.  If a client is being prosecuted for not paying their child support, they often need to have the amount of the support modified by a family law attorney to an amount they can afford.  If a client lives in an unsafe or uninhabitable apartment, they may be vistited by children's division regarding the conditions their children are living in. My goal is not just to get clients through the case they are dealing with now, but to help them make changes to avoid or, at least prepare for, the next case.

I practice chapter 7 and chapter 13 bankruptcy law. Try to stay up to date with newest technology, and improve our office procedure to make the whole process easy for our clients.

I have been a licensed Missouri Attorney since 2009. I grew up in Northern Arkansas. I am the oldest of four children. My entire family still resides in Arkansas. My younger brother Jason is a disabled US Army Veteran, who served in the Army 82nd Airborne in the Iraq War. He lives in Northern Arkansas. My sister, Elizabeth, is a mother of four children and resides in Conway Arkansas with her family. It may be surprising, but I also have a younger brother that is only 20 years old; Josh, builds custom boats in Mountain Home, Arkansas. My mother, Susan resides in Ash Flat Arkansas with her husband, Bryan, and their two dogs. My grandparents, Lester and Wilma, live across the Street from my mom. When I was a kid, my Grandparents owned and operated one of the largest Restaurants in that part of Northern Arkansas until they sold it to retire.. I lived in Arkansas until early 2000’s, when I moved to St. Louis with my daughter, Faith, to attend Washington University. I obtained a degree in History at Washington University and then my Law Degree from St. Louis University. During my college years, I raised my daughter as a single parent. I was fortunate enough to meet wonderful friends during my time in St. Louis, which helped me tremendously in managing the stresses of college life and being a single mom. In addition, to the friend support system, I was lucky to have had the benefit of aid such as food stamps and housing assistance to get me through the tough times.. I graduated law school in 2008. I was working at a small law firm in St. Louis, Missouri when I graduated law school. During my time with this firm I worked on Criminal, Civil, Traffic, and some family law matters. I remained working for the firm until I was offered a position as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney for Phelps County, Missouri (Rolla, MO) in the Fall of 2009. I decided to leave the St. Louis firm to obtain “real courtroom/trial experience” as a prosecutor. I remained with the Phelps County Prosecutor’s office until the end of December 2011. At this time, I moved to the St. Charles area to teach at a local college, and was immediately offered a job with a busy Bankruptcy Law Firm in downtown St. Louis. I remained with that law firm for three and half years. During this time, I represented 1,000s of Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Clients in both Missouri and Illinois. In September of 2013, I decided to take all of my legal experience and practice law “my way.”. I decided to try and operate as a lawyer in a way that would fix all of the problems I have seen with other lawyers. I want to offer as much real help as I can. Currently my primary practice is Bankruptcy, this is not because I do not know how to practice other law, but because this is the area of law that I feel can most immediately affect a person’s life in a positive way. I want to take a hands-on approach with all my cases.  I want to know about your life and your family. I want to know how to make your life better. I cannot fix everything, but I can give you a straight forward honest answer when asked.. I did not become an attorney because I wanted to get rich. I grew up in a simple Arkansas family. My family has never been well off, in fact we were not even middle class. I learned the value of hard work and sacrifice. I know what it feels like to ask for help. It was not so long ago that I was going to the grocery store and using an EBT card. I had to visit the Department of Family Services and get help with medical bills and rent. I know what it is like to hope that the next person you see can make your day just little bit better. It is my personal struggles that make me a good attorney. I will never forget that people are what matter. I have been given an opportunity to help make your life better, even if Bankruptcy is not what you need. I can help you on almost any issue, and if I cannot do it, I will refer you to someone who can! Please let me use my personal experiences to give you a better tomorrow.
