I love living and practicing law in Sonoma County! I have been practicing law since 2002. I grew up in Novato, CA and attended Santa Rosa J.C. then transferred to Arizona State University studying English and Political Science for upper division and then staying for law school, but I always knew I would return to the Bay Area after law school. I enjoy all aspects of litigation, but my favorite part of practicing law is the research and writing. I enjoy exploring Sonoma County and Northern California with my husband Steve. I love traveling near and far when I can (trying to get at least a few days of Snowboarding in each season), but also enjoy weekends at home with movies or a good book.

I have been practicing law for more than 17 years, working side-by-side with thousands of clients and placing their needs at the forefront of everything I do as an attorney.. Long ago, I realized that my drive to serve people as their legal advisor is born out of my desire to care for injured people. Before going to law school, I worked with challenged high school students who were missing something in their lives: a relationship with a caring, compassionate, and empathetic adult. For many years, I was that adult who cared for them mentored them, and equipped them with tools to not just survive but thrive. After getting married and beginning my family, I was ready to take my experience working with high school students to the next level. I discovered a new avenue to serve people – to graciously and empathetically assist injured people, advocate for them, counsel them, guide them, and help them win. I became an attorney.. I represent people who are injured in car collisions and families who need to get back into their home after a hurricane or natural disaster because their insurance company failed them by refusing to pay their claim. I also advocate for business owners who are struggling through a business dispute. I strive to give people the personalized attention and representation they deserve by running a client-centered law firm. Call today for a free case evaluation!.

I serve clients by working along-side them to help them recover from their injuries, including a personal injury, a trauma at work, wounds from a natural disaster, or a business dispute..
