I'm a Bay Area Native.  My proudest accomplishments are that I'm a mother, wife and an 11 year Army Veteran.. I met my husband (also an Army Veteran) in 1989 after returning from a tour of duty in the Philippines.  We were both Civil Affairs Specialists assigned to the 445th Civil Affairs Company, a little known unit under the US Army Special Operations Command.. I'm a proud mother to 2 boys and step-mother to 1 son. Being a mother, step-mother and having been raised primarily by my father, have prepared me to understand and deal with emotionally complex Family Law matters, better relating to my clients. It is critical the attorney you select to handle your Family Law matter has real life experience in relation to your legal matter.. I graduated from John F. Kennedy University School of Law and have been a member in good standing of the California State Bar since 2004.  I'm also a member of the Alameda County Bar Association.. Before opening my own law office, I worked many years for a very high-volume Family Law firm which gave me daily presence in Alameda and Contra Costa Family Courts on hundreds of cases.  This gave me significant trial experience, and taught me many lessons about what to do as a lawyer and Family Law practitioner, and what not to do.. This experience and knowledge benefits my clients greatly because I am  familiar with the courts, procedures, laws, and judicial officers who will be presiding over your case.. I pride myself on my high level of integrity with my peers and the courts.  I give straight-forward advice to my clients.  Because of this policy, there may be times when I have to tell you things you may not want to hear, or present concepts to which you may not agree. However, in doing so, I am not only giving you ammunition, I am thoroughly preparing you for the likely and realistic outcome of your case.  There are never any surprises and you will never feel unprepared.. I'm regarded by my peers and judicial officers as a well-prepared, knowledgeable, and tenacious advocate who gets results for my clients, yet able to invoke reasonable settlement agreements in many cases.

Practice Areas: Child Custody

I want the best possible outcome for my clients and I work diligently, effectively, and honestly to get those results.. I passed the California State Bar Exam in 2012 and the Arizona State Bar Exam in 2013. I worked as an attorney for Higbee & Associates and a general practice law firm where I gained valuable experience in civil, criminal, and family law matters.. In 2017, I started my own firm centered on family law matters. I choose family law largely because of my love for children. My undergraduate degree is in psychology. I have six adult children; however, they ranged in age from 4-14 when I got divorced and went to law school in 2009. Because I was a single parent with six children, I had to redefine myself and find a way to finanically provide for my family. Having been divorced, with parents who also divorced, I have first hand knowledge of how difficult divorce can be, especially for children.  I can remember with specificity going to the Pomona courthouse to have a conversation with a stranger about the parent that I wanted to live with and why.. I care deeply about children and families in crisis. Thus, a large part of my practice involves representing minor children in family law court. I have the privilege of interviewing clients, their families and collateral witnesses, reviewing documents, and drafting reports with recommendations for custody, visitation and co-parenting. I am often on the same cases for years due to the high conflict between the parents. My goal is to help families learn to resolve issues and make child centered decisions so the family can move forward equipped with the skills they need to stay out of court.. I take all cases related to family law, including divorces, parentage, and post judgment modifications that are litigated in front of a Judge. I have extensive trial experience but I only take important issues to trial. Most of my trial experience is in "Move Away" or abuse cases.. I certified as a mediator in 2012 and again in 2023. I have additional training in high conflict cases. These skills help me in every case, even when litigation is required. I love helping people come to out of court resolution whenever possible.. Prior to law school, I was a stay at home Mom and the Board President for Lakeview Academy Charter School in Saratoga Springs, Utah. The board supervised and hired all teachers and employees and governed the school of 700 children from its inception. Prior to having children, I loved being a preschool teacher.
