I graduated from Baylor University in 1995 with a Bachelor of Business Administration Degree in Financial Services & Planning and International Business. In December 1997, I received my J.D. from St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas. I am licensed to practice in Texas and the Federal Courts for the Western and Southern Districts of Texas.. My law practice has an emphasis on the representation of condominium and homeowners' associations in general legal matters, assessment collection, and covenant enforcement actions.  During several sessions of the Texas Legislature, I provided testimony in front of various Texas House of Representative and Senate Committees regarding bills related to the operation, management, and authority of homeowners associations.. Professionally, I am a member of:. I have been a speaker for many Community Association Institute educational programs and for Lorman Educational Services regarding various association related topics. Additionally, I am involved with volunteer work and fundraising for various causes in the community. My husband of 16 years and I  three school aged children. I am passionate about cooking, nutrition, Smart Barre classes, gardening, and travel.

I focus on probate and estate planning almost exclusively because I am passionate about helping people navigate and avoid unnecessary grief and hardship. I take great pride in drafting specially tailored Wills, Trusts, and other estate planning documents to protect my clients and their loves ones. These situations are difficult enough without the legal process being made more complicated by poor drafting or failure to plan. It is my mission to protect my client's interests (legal, financial and personal) and hold their hands through the legal process. I base my practice on honesty, good communication, and hard work.. I currently take cases in Bexar County, Guadalupe County and Comal County. I also accept cases in Frio County, Atascosa County, Kendall County, Medina County, Wilson County, Goliad County, Kerr County, Nueces County, and other Texas Counties on a case-by-case basis. I have represented clients who live in Florida, Oregon, Washington, New York, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Colorado, Arizona, and even out of the country (though this always involves a decedent or ward who resided in South Texas). When it comes to hiring an attorney for probate matters, where the decedent lived (not where the client lives) is usually the determining factor.. I am originally from Chicago, Illinois, but have also lived in Ohio, North Carolina, California, and South Dakota. I enjoy spending time with my family, travel and volunteering in the San Antonio community. I decided to make San Antonio my permanent home in 2010 and I do not miss icy roads or below-zero temperatures one bit.. I am on the board of directors for Crime Stoppers of San Antonio and Animal Defense League of Texas. I have always enjoyed hands-on volunteering in my community as well. I plan to expand my efforts to some of the incredible charities benefiting children and their families that serve this part of the state.
