I am passionate about protecting my clients' rights while providing the best and most personal service that I can. I've been practicing law since 2015, and I opened Round Lake Legal, PLLC, in 2018. My current practice is focused on estate planning, real estate and business law, and civil litigation.. I grew up in Ellsworth, Michigan, and attended law school at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. I practiced in a boutique law firm in St. Louis after graduation, but my family and I eventually returned to northern Michigan and now live in Charlevoix. We love exploring Michigan in our RV, enjoying the lakes, hiking trails, and local festivals.
