I became a lawyer and a mediator because I am good at advocating for clients and helping people resolve their differences. I have been practicing law in Illinois for nearly 35 years.  In 1992, I created, authored and directed the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit Court Kids in a Divorcing Society (KIDS PROGRAM) mandated divorce education program. I have also been a secondary education teacher and coach. I am a divorced single parent of three grown successful children. I have achieved a great post divorce relationship with my EX and his spouse.. I’ve been through it all and standing on the other side, I can tell you there is hope and it will be okay.

I love being a lawyer and I love helping my clients with their cases. My entire staff feels the same way. I live in Mount Vernon. I am married to an attorney (Scott Quinn, head public defender for Jefferson County). We raise our children here and are active in our community. If you would like to learn more about me or my staff, please head to my website to read more.
