I take care of people.  I advocate for people.  I bring sincere integrity back to the practice of law.. I look forward to serving you.

I have been licensed to practice law for over twelve years.  During my career as an attorney, I have experience in estate settlement, estate planning, trusts, and family law.. I am a single mom of three exceptional children (what else would a mom say, right?).  My former husband and I have managed an alternating week parenting plan for nearly eight years.  My children are with me from Friday until the following Friday.. Many attorneys and Judges are critics of the alternating weeks but I know differently.  My former husband and I do not have the most amicable relationship yet we have managed to coparenting our children in alternating weeks.. Our oldest child (7th grade) was asked to take the ACT at the age of 12, he plays Lacrosse and Hockey, he is a member of science club, and he has gone on two mission trips.  Our middle child (5th grade) has received "advanced" in every topic both times he sat for the TCAPs, he plays Lacrosse and Hockey, he has competed in speech competitions, he volunteers for safety duty at school, he earned a spot on the morning announcements at school, and played the role as Senior Regional Sales Manager for the 5th grade biz town program.  Finally, our youngest child (2nd grade) is enrolled in gymnastics, plays soccer, and so far, receives high marks (no grades yet).. I practice family law for Miles Mason Family Law Group, PLC.  Miles Mason has been my mentor and "professor" of family law.  Outside of work, I run the elementary lacrosse program, lead a bible study, and volunteer every Sunday at my church to assign leaders and greeters.. I believe my experience with divorce at the time my children were 5, 3, and 1 has enabled me to bring my insight, wisdom, and guidance into my practice of law.  When I advise my clients regarding a parenting plan, not only do I follow the law, I guide them to address areas of concern other attorneys don't know about simply because they haven't lived it.. Finally, my failures and my successes help define who I am today.  Without failing, one never truly knows success.

I graduated high school in Johnson County and have returned here to raise my own family. I love this county and the people in it, and that is part of the reason why I am excited to practice here. I want to serve my neighbors by providing the best possible legal representation.. I grew up knowing that I wanted to help people. It wasn't until I was in college that I realized my skill set could be best utilized in the legal field. I have a passion for legal reading, writing and research. I had a wonderful experience in law school at Washburn University and focused most of my education on family law. I believe in focusing on children and families because as the words from John Trainer express, "children are not a distraction from more important work[,] they are the most important work."
