My primary areas of practice are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy and representation of consumers and creditors in bankruptcy litigation matters..

In my Chapter 13 Practice I have helped many homeowners retain their homes, which would have otherwise been lost to foreclosure, and have assisted Small Business owbers reorganize and restructure their business and personal debts which have enable businesses owners to once again operate without the threat of closure.

Practice Areas: Bankruptcy & Debt
The decision to file for Bankruptcy is difficult for many people. The process can be emotional and overwhelming. I started doing bankruptcy work because it feels good to help people. While I have worked in many area's of law over the past 27 years, I can honestly say that bankruptcy work is the most satisfying legal work I have done, because people are genuinely happy after they complete the process and receive their discharge. It's as if a huge weight has been lifted off their shoulders and I helped them to get that relief.. I also believe it is important that you choose an attorney with empathy and one that you like as a person. It makes things so much easier if you know that your attorney cares about you, that he or she will personally take your calls, or answer your emails, instead of treating you like just another filing. I believe in providing my clients with professional and personal service at a fair price. I worked by may through College and Law School waiting tables, cooking and tending bar. I am no different than my clients, I just happen to have a law degree and that allows me to help them get a new lease on life.

Prior to joining Willey & Chamberlain LLP as an associate attorney, I used my education and experiences from law school to open a private practice devoted exclusively to criminal law. During that time, I focused on alcohol related offenses, drug offenses, and violent crimes and was able to gain valuable experience in state courts throughout West Michigan. Since joining Willey & Chamberlain, I have continued to develop my expertise in these areas while expanding my practice into federal criminal defense.

Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
The sole focus of my legal practice is criminal defense at the state and federal level. I don't dabble in any other areas of the law. Similar to other professions, lawyers are--or should be--very focused in what they do. There's just too much to know in any one area of the law. To be effective is not to provide a broad array of legal services but, rather, be very particular in your field. My expertise lies in criminal defense.. Being accused of or charged with a crime, understandably, can feel like a life-altering event. The first steps you take after you receive a call from a detective seeking to ask questions or are after you've been charged with a crime, will have an incredible impact on your future. What may intuitively feel like the "right" thing to do is often, for example: explaining your side of things, surprisingly, is often the wrong thing to do legally. So if you're called or charged: I can help. I use a very communicative (you'll be able to get a hold of me) and thorough approach to every case I handle. You'll always know and understand what is going on in your case, and why we are doing what we're doing; you'll feel engaged in the process rather than feeling like the legal process is simply taking place around you.. Consultations are always free and confidential. I can be contacted directly on my phone.

Practice Areas: Immigration
I'm a regular ol' Michigander. I grew up in Grand Rapids, and attended Kalamazoo College where I majored in Spanish and Religion. During my junior year I studied abroad in Caceres, Spain. Soon after graduation, I began working at Catholic Human Development Outreach in Grand Rapids, in the Immigration Assistance Program where I was first exposed to immigration law. That experience convinced me to attend law school, and while there I again studied abroad, but this time in Galway, Ireland learning about International Human Rights and Humanitarian law. I graduated and became an attorney in 2006, when I moved to Chicago to study tax law. I then worked in tax for several years, specializing in individual international taxation issues. In 2010, I felt the pull back home to Michigan and immigration law. I worked at St. Vincent Catholic Charities in Lansing, Michigan as a Staff Attorney for more than two years before becoming the Director of Immigration Legal Services for the Diocese of Grand Rapids in 2013. I left that post in 2022 to open LYIS, PLLC. I now have more than 14 years' experience in U.S. citizenship and immigration practice. I am a native English speaker, and fluent in Spanish.. I have two dogs, and I like to knit and research my geneaology.
