In 2016 I looked back over my last 20 years of practice and  realized that I had made career decisions based upon circumstance and what others wanted, rather than practicing in the legal areas I enjoyed.  I decided to return to my roots in the practice of law - family law, guardianships, probate, criminal defense and juvenile defense.
