As a former judicial law clerk to a Superior Court Judge, I draw on my diverse professional background to help my clients address and resolve their important business dealings. During my career, I’ve managed, assisted with, and was privy to varied cases, including domestic disputes, capital murder offenses, commercial and business cases, and real estate and construction matters. Working daily in a courthouse afforded me the opportunity to observe how other attorneys interact with their clients, providing me with the knowledge of what valuable skills I needed for my own successful attorney-client relationships. I strongly believe that, to truly provide services in your best interests, collaboration and communication should be the chief drivers towards realizing your objectives. To that end, my legal services will be provided not only with zealous advocacy, but also with compassion and understanding: I want to fully appreciate your short and long-term goals within your particular industry to achieve your desired result, both efficiently and economically. Of course, with any emerging or established business, I also keep a healthy focus on risk mitigation and management, knowing it’s critical to developing key business relationships while achieving economic milestones and success. I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia and have deep roots in the South. This is especially true on game-day weekends when my beloved Georgia Bulldogs take the field in SEC battle. At the same time, I fully appreciate the great Pacific Northwest with its rich cultural heritage and incredible outdoor opportunities. After moving to the Seattle area and immersing myself in the city and surrounding areas, my family and I have settled on Bainbridge Island where we’ve become actively involved in our local community. I have now developed lasting relationships here, and feel fortunate and proud to call Washington my home.

In addition to my divorce practice, I am interested in working with individuals and families in the early stages of relationships.  There is a lot of space for creative and intentional work in constructing and defining family structures going in.  Everyone’s family is different, and I am a big believer in broad and inclusive interpretations of what family means.  Many of us identify strongly with the notion of investing in a family of choice, and I want to support that in any way I can.. Regardless of why you come to see me, I will listen without judgment to where you’ve been, what you’ve done, and how you’d like things to go.   I will be honest with you about what I think is possible, what I think is likely, and what I think is wise.  I will strive to understand your needs.  Most importantly, I will do my utmost to work with you and think creatively about how we can move you from wherever you are now to wherever you want to be.
