I have been practicing law since 1993, in pratically all areas from divorce and paternity, modifications, criminal defense, personal injury, probate, general civil litigation, and the llke.  As a young  lawyer, I started out taking any case that would get me in front of a jury.  I knew I wanted to be a trial lawyer.  I wanted to be comfortable in the court room.  So, I tried all manner of criminal cases, civil contract cases, and personal injury cases.  I started my law practice in Maine.  After 10 years, I had twin daughters and moved to Salt Lake City, Utah.  Since that time, my practice has focused on divorce, paternity and family law, and some criminal and civil law.  I now have a son as well.  My husband and I live with our three children and three dogs in Park City, Utah. We love to ski, hike, play baseball, softball, soccer, and any other sport that involves the outdoors.  I have my own practice now, having practiced in small firms to large firms over the years.  I find my joy in my family, and in helping my clients through some of the worst times of their life.  The best part is the fact that they move through a process,  and hopfully, at the end, continue to move forward in a more positive way.  I have watched a spouse, mother or father, collapesed by divorce or separation, find love again, connect with their children again, and find their own joy again.  I am grateful for those clients that stay in touch with me so I can share in their happiness.

I have been licensed to practice law in Utah and Idaho for 18 years. I work in a small law firm staffed with some of my closest friends.

However, we at Hobbs & Olson also relish the opportunity to go to trial. My last jury trial was February 4, 2011. Lincoln W. Hobbs and I have practiced law together continuously since 1997. Our professional working relationship is strong, symbiotic and enduring. My secretary, Kris Gines, and I have worked together off and on since 1993 and continuously since 1998..

I am a partner at the law firm Eisenberg, Cutt, Kendell & Olson and have been practicing law since 1993.  As a personal injury attorney, I have the unique opportunity to help people who have been injured by the negligence of others.  Through the years, my cases have involved injuries and wrongful deaths arising from bicycle accidents, auto accidents, defective products and medical malpractice.. In addition to my legal practice, I am also actively involved in the Women’s Law Caucus and serve on the Character and Fitness Committee for the Utah State Bar.  I enjoy speaking to groups and writing articles about topics that are relevant to the personal injury practice area.  I am also an avid cyclist and runner and enjoy scuba-diving and traveling with my family.. As a cyclist, I am particularly interested in helping fellow cyclists when they are injured.  My firm has represented many cyclists whose injuries have arisen from a variety of causes including failed tires and other defective bicycle parts as well as drivers who have carelessly crashed into cyclists causing serious injury and in some cases death.  We are very aware of the safety concerns that face cyclists in the Salt Lake valley and enjoy advocating for and representing cyclists in a variety of capacities.
