I am a Tucson native with 16 years of extensive family law experience focused on custody and parenting time issues as well as other issues . One of my special interests is working on family law related matters for active duty military members, veterans and military spouses including military retirement, disability and tricare benefits. In addition to be licensed in Arizona, I am also an active member of the State Bar of California. This allows me to assist with any family law matters which you may have in California.. While in California, I served as a legal aid attorney for more than 10 years, with the last three as the Directing Attorney of the Legal Aid Society of Orange County. In this capacity, I represented and assisted many clients with a variety of legal issues to include family law matters such as dissolution, custody, paternity, child support, spousal maintenance and domestic violence matters.. From all of my years of experience, I have learned that children matter the most. My true passion is in representing individuals who are facing custody issues. My goals for every client is the best interests of their children, and to reduce anxiety levels through effective communication, strategizing and thorough preparation from the outset. You will find that I am highly responsive and keenly interested in every detail of your situation so that you and your children can obtain the best possible outcome.. From my very first legal internship, I knew that I wanted to help families affected by divorce. Since receiving my Juris Doctor in 2004, I have practiced extensively in all areas of law affecting families. While I prefer to see cases settle, I am fully prepared to litigate if settlement is not possible. I have successfully completed the National Institute for Trial Advocacy program. In addition, I have extensive domestic violence advocacy training.. In addition to serving in the private sector in California, I also had the privilege of addressing the needs of the underserved in Los Angeles and Orange County. From 2013-2017, I was Directing Attorney for the Legal Aid Society of Orange County, Santa Ana Office. In that role, I supervised several legal units, and personally represented clients in family law, housing/eviction defense, consumer law, guardianship, government benefits and military veteran disputes. Although I enjoyed my time in California, in 2017, I was beyond delighted to be able to return to my hometown of Tucson, Arizona where I have continued to practice family law every since.. My strong suit is putting people at ease by first recognizing the tremendous stresses that divorce and parenting disputes place on the individual and that every individual has unique needs. I join that with thorough case preparation and effective (and timely) communication so that you can emerge from this process with your dignity intact and energy reinvigorated. There are lots of problems, but even more solutions! My job is to help you find those solutions.. As a proud spouse of a military combat veteran who served in the U.S. Marine Corps for over twenty-one years, I have a keen interest in military service issues facing both service members and their spouses/partners. This includes a thorough understanding of military service benefits including division of military retirement, survivor benefits, disability pay, and Tricare/healthcare benefits. I am also very familiar with the unique challenges confronting military members with respect to parenting issues arising out of deployment and other required relocations.. When I am not working, I enjoy the outdoors with my husband and two children; traveling; attending my children’s sporting events and running outdoors. I would be honored to assist you with your family law needs. I want to help you find peace and resolution so that you and your family can take the next step in moving forward with a sense of closure.
