I began my criminal law career at the Miami County Attorney’s Office under Elizabeth Sweeney-Reeder. During my time as a prosecutor I worked in Juvenile, Domestic Violence, Misdemeanor Traffic, Misdemeanor Crimes, Field and Game, DUI, and Felony Failure to Register cases. This broad spectrum allowed me to gain great knowledge of criminal law. After leaving the County Attorney's Office in December of 2017, I then went to work for Cameron & Herrman, P.A, a very well-known firm in Wichita, Kansas. I work zealously to defend the rights of my clients in Criminal, Traffic, DUI, and Family Law.

I am born and raised in Wichita, Kansas and got my undergraduate degree from Wichita State University. I love my city and that is why I decided to open up shop in downtown Wichita upon completing my legal education in Florida. I hate to use the cliche, but Dorothy was right: "there is no place like home.". I practice estate planning: wills, trusts, power of attorneys, and I love what I do. I am passionate about my work because I get to meet new people every day, and get to apply a hard earned education to help people acheive peace of mind and security for thier families. I see my work more as an opportunity to build relationships rather than simply perform mindless tasks. I don't care how much effort is put into mastering the law of wills and trusts; if a client doesn't feel comfortable telling me thier hopes and desires for thier future, I cannot create an effective plan, and I have failed at my job.. I want to get to know you, and build a lasting relationship. Hopefully, you will notice that immediately when you give me a call.. Know that, if you decide to come for a consultation, you will recieve my undivided attention. My focus is on estate planning so I am not split in different directions trying to keep up on changes in the law.. Cost is always a concern for individuals when pursuing any kind of legal service. Creating an estate plan is an important process, and I don't want any of my clients fearing that they will be surprised by a huge bill. You will know what the cost is before we get started, and I will always check in first about any additional costs that may come up.. I would be delighted to help you create security for you and your family's future.
