It has not always been my dream to become a lawyer. Rather, my passion for law developed over time. I knew I wanted a career where I had the opportunity to help families, which led me to initially pursue social work. As I pursued that career path, I realized I enjoyed attending court, and I wanted to be more involved with the families. I knew I wanted to do more.. I began my legal career as a paralegal in medical malpractice, but I had a strong desire to become a family law attorney. Throughout law school, I centered my curriculum around becoming a family law attorney, including completing an internship with a family law judge.. Divorce often receives a negative stigma, but that is not always the case. Many individuals and parents, including my own, were better people divorced than married. It is not necessarily divorce that causes family conflict or stress, rather it is how the parents handle divorce. From personal experience, I know conflict and strong emotions come with divorce, and if parents fail to handle this transition appropriately, the children can suffer in unpredictable ways. One of my goals is to help your family amicably transition through divorce and co-parent effectively.. Divorce can be the most difficult transition you go through, but the end goal is to reach the best possible outcome in a fair, honest, and respectful manner. During my internship with a family law judge, I learned, among many things, that family law issues can be complex. Whether it is an issue involving property division, spousal maintenance, child custody, or any other family law-related matter, I want to help.
