IAm a straight  up type. I treat clients with honesty. Will go the extra mile but am willing to tell it as it is

I was born and raised in St. Louis and have spent my legal career fighting for those charged with crimes in the State of Missouri. After graduating from law school, I worked for the Missouri State Public Defender for over 10 years. During that time, I represented hundreds of clients facing charges as low as traffic offenses to as high as murder and everything in between. I am a passionate advocate for my clients and no matter the odds, will always fight for you!

I was born and raised in Oklahoma City, but settled here in St. Louis after graduating from St. Louis University School of Law in 2002.  When I am not helping my client's nativgate the legal system, I enjoy reading, yoga and spending time with my husband, son and our families and friends.  I am a former Insurance Defense Lawyer, who is greatful for each and every opportunity to help people in our community resolve their legal problems, and help the jurors that hear our client's cases protect our community and hold those responsible who either intentionallly or carelessly harm the people that live in it.

I spent the first ten years of my career as a defense attorney and gained substantial experience representing corporations, insurance companies, and hospitals in personal injury, medical malpractice, business, and product liability cases.  In December 2014, I stepped down from a position at a large St. Louis law firm to start and run a firm with my brother.  I now focus my practice primarily on the representation of people who have been harmed by the negligent and fraudulent acts of others.

I represent people in felony, DWI/DUI, misdemeanor, and traffic cases in St. Louis and surrounding areas. I work very hard for my clients and I try to ensure they understand their case, and the applicable law, before any disposition is reached. Please call me if you have questions; I want to help!

I put forth effort and special attention into every case, leading to effective, highly personalized representation. When you hire me, you get me.  My client's case never gets delegated to a junior associate who graduated law school last year.  If you choose to hire me as your attorney, you will always personally deal with me, an experienced, caring lawyer.. My office is in downtown Clayton, the county seat of St. Louis County. As my client you will get aggressive representation without being suffocated by fees and expenses. Many lawyers bill their clients for every fax and copy made.  My fees are reasonable and negotiated in advance.  You will know what expenses to expect and what your fees will be prior to the commencement of representation.. I am always willing to meet and discuss your case free of charge.  If you decide to hire me for your case - great!  If you decide not to hire us you owe us nothing for the meeting.  Thank you for visiting my Avvo page and considering me for your representation.

I love what I do for a living.  My job gives me the opportunity to develop genuinely deep connections with my clients and coworkers.  We get to know each other very well and develop a sense of mutual respect.  This systems we employ and the culture we create sustains my office.  It also makes us highly effective at what we do.. My job also gives me a chance to have fun.  I love the competition that is a part of every case, the strategies and the gamesmanship.  I was very lucky to have worked with a creative and very bright lawyer when I started practicing, and his mantra was: “if you can’t have fun, what’s the point?”  Keeping calm in the process of trial or any court proceeding allows you to have fun, and it helps make the process more tolerable for all concerned – especially our clients.. My work also gives me a chance to help others while having fun.  I was lucky enough to have been in David Glover’s law school class, and David is one funny dude who happens to have his own radio talk show.  Some days, after long hours at my office surrounded by men and women in dark clothing, David invites me to do an “ask the lawyer” segment on the David Glover Show: .  Being in an environment filled with creative, funny people in bright clothing  is reason enough to appear on the show every time Dave invites me, but I really enjoy trying to help the listeners.  It is one simple way of helping the community and enjoying my time as an attorney.. Work also gives me the chance to give back to the community by supporting many charities – usually ones that are closely connected to the struggles of our clients.  For instance, we represented the family of a young man who was shot to death outside a nightclub at a prominent St. Louis landmark.  In the course of our work with the surviving family members, we were simply amazed by the sheer capacity for work, love and devotion the victim’s mother demonstrated.  As a single mother, she often worked two or more jobs and lived at or below the poverty line.  Her two boys went to school and grew up in a community that was filled with drugs, violence and family dysfunction.  Yet her strength of character guided those boys to become hard working, educated young men that were raising their own young families.  After the wrongful death case resolved, we donated money to a shelter for school age children that is known as a last stop before prison or death.  The young men and women who come out of this shelter often find themselves with a diploma in their hand, pride in their souls and a spring in their step because society didn’t give up on them.  By supporting the shelter, we felt as if we were helping others have the chance that our victim’s mother gave her son.

I help general contractors, subcontractors, design professionals, homeowners, businesses, and banks in all aspects of construction-related transactions and litigation including contract drafting and negotiation, mechanic's liens, quality of work disputes, design defects, and change orders and delays.I also counsel clients on real estate matters involving lease agreements, sale contracts, boundary disputes, adverse possession claims, deed reformation, easement and access disputes, and lien priority disputes.

I have spent a large portion of my life serving the public.  From my extensive community service during college, to the three months I spent working at a legal aid clinic in South Africa, to my volunteer positions at the St Louis City and County Public Defender's offices, I have repeatedly demonstrated my commitment to giving voice to the rights of the underrepresented in our community.  I would love the opportunity to give you a voice in court. The choice of an attorney is an important decision and should not be based on advertisements alone.
