I am passionate about my work, I fight hard for my clients, and I work tirelessly to achieve the best results.. My mantra in life has always been, “you can either give up, give in, or give it your all.” Shortly after I was born, my dad took a risk and started his own business working out of our basement. My mom joined him and fearlessly embraced the journey of small business owners with a hoard of three young children. Whether it was my mom knowing how every client took their coffee or my dad’s all-nighters during tax season, from day one my parents taught me the importance of compassion and hard work. Today, these are values that I bring to my work and to my clients.. When I decided to pursue a career in law I was met with a lot of “why?” When I dedicated my career to Family Law I was met with even more “why?” What people often do not understand is that the answer to that question is my WHY. People come to me during one of the most difficult periods in their lives. They are looking for an ally, someone to trust, someone to encourage them to not give up or give in. These people and families are why I chose this career path – to help them weather whatever storm they are facing.. I understand the circumstances requiring a Family Law attorney can be emotional, and I strive to be there for my clients through the entire process. I take pride in giving my all to my clients every day. I will not let you give up or give in, and we will give your case our all, together.. Outside the office you can find me exploring Charlotte with my husband and our three dogs: Indiana, Jackson, and Logan (affectionately known as our wiggle pack). If I am not cycling, you might spot me running down Providence Rd. with the wiggle pack tethered at my side. As a Pennsylvania native I am a proud born and raised Pittsburgh sports fan, forever in competition with my Philadelphia husband.. I am admitted to the state of North Carolina Bar and the United States Direct Court, Western District of North Carolina.

I am a sport and community junky. Growing up, I was involved in sports, church, clubs, and every extracurricular activity that was available to me. I thought I had a normal life, until I realized that I was going to become a child of divorced parents. I knew it would be a pivotal moment that would shape my future – and if you don’t believe me, I can refer you to a childhood journal entry that describes it in much more detail! While I did not understand the legal system or the ins and out of divorce, I knew I was different than most of my friends because I was a child of divorce. It was in those early years that I realized I wanted to make a difference long-term for other families and children facing separation and divorce. I knew that I could guide them as they discovered what their new “normal” would look like.. Giving back to people and being empathetic is who I am. The older I became, the more I was drawn to studying legal issues and developed an interest and love in the vast variety of what the law could teach us, how it could shape us, and how it influences our every day. While in high school, I received a recommendation for a position that had become available with a local law office. I walked into that office for an interview as a junior in high school, accepted a part-time position, and never looked back.. After ten years of being paralegal, working during the day and attending college at night, I knew I could do more. I applied for law school and was accepted. I attended law school part-time and continued my work as a paralegal. In my final year, I transferred to a full-time law student and graduated. I am now licensed to practice law in both North Carolina and South Carolina. I spend my days helping families navigate the ins and outs of divorce the same way an attorney helped my family and me all those years ago. Additionally, finding myself in the middle of divorce as a wife, mother, and attorney has added another layer of experience and challenge to the list of categories that enhance my ability to bring a unique perspective to family law cases, empathize with my clients, and understand the many emotions that family law cases bring.. I am a licensed Family Law Mediator in North Carolina and a Family Court Guardian Ad Litem in York County, South Carolina. While my focus has primarily been in the practice area of family law both as an attorney and as a Guardian Ad Litem, I also have experience in criminal law and traffic law, as well as estate planning and estate administration.. I love family law and helping those that find their definition of "family" is changing.

I am a family law attorney practicing in Charlotte, North Carolina. My passion is people, and I work hard to assist clients with litigation and mediation. Practice focus includes separation, divorce, equitable distribution, alimony, child custody, child support, adoption, and prenuptial agreements.
