I am BLESSED to have the opportunity to serve as a counselor of law / a ZEALOUS advocate / and a COACH for CHAMPIONS (my clients).  Stetson College of Law is the BEST law school in the world (in my opinion) and my Alma Mater -- May 1999!  The education and training I received is immeasurable.  I am so grateful!. The professionals I have met in the last 16 years (lawyers, judges, court clerks, deputies, judicial coordinators; and judicial assistants) have served as incredible role models and pillars of encouragement for me.  I cover Seminole/Orange/Volusia/ Counties, primarily; however, I am willing to consider other counties, if necessary.. KNOW THIS: I love my profession and I am invested in the lives of those I have the honor to represent.. I look forward to the next 16 years (or longer)!
