I  began  my career by working as a Research Attorney for a Family Court Judge in March 2001, after graduating from Thomas M. Cooley Law School.  After working for a Family Court Judge for five years and watching what trials do to families, I decided that I would do whatever it takes to avoid high conflict divorces that ended in divorce trials.  After joining a firm in March 2006 that had a quality reputation for their dedication in helping families through divorce as amicably as possible, I completed my Family Mediation training in April 2006 and my domestic violence training in May 2006.  I competed  Collaborative Practice training in May 2008.  I completed the ICLE Family Law Certificate Program in May of 2008.. I am now working for Gerkin & Decker, PC, with offices in Flint and Brighton.  We handle cases in Livingston, Genessee, Lapeer, Shiawassee and Oakland Counties.. I am a firm believer that when cases are mediated, especially before or soon after filing, the children are much less negatively affected by the divorce.  I believe that mediation or Collaborative Practice are a wonderful alternative to Court.  I am dedicated to being a fair and neutral mediator that will assist the parties in obtaining an agreement that both parties are able to live with.
