Firm: Taylor-Made Solutions, PLLC
30200 Telegraph Road , Bingham Farms , Michigan 48025
Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation, Family, Child Custody, Mediation
My goal is to help couples have a peaceful divorce. Families should not be in court fighting against one another, particularly when there are children involved. Most divorces, 95% or more, do not go to trial; they settle. But, they usually do not settle until the attorneys have battled for months, belittling the other spouse in an attempt to "win" for their client. My philosophy is that couples should start out in settlement discussions, keeping things civil between them and making decisions for themselves as to what is best for their children and how to fairly divide their property and debt. I am proud to say that I have been very successful in helping couples do just that.

I have a passion for helping families through difficult times. Prior to my legal career, I worked with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. I was able to gain the compassion and knowledge to help families navigate through a complex system in times of need. Now, I guide clients through a different, yet still complex system - family court.. While working for MDHHS, I was stationed in an elementary school. The families there became “my families” and I took great pride in the simple task of greeting the students at the door every morning with a big smile and a high-five. I believe it is imperative that every child and family I work with knows their worth.. I am born and raised in the Grand Rapids area. As an only child I developed an ability to keep myself entertained. I’d put on theater, music, and dance shows in my backyard where neighbors came to enjoy the show; at least until the batteries in my beloved “boombox” would lose their charge. My love for theater and public speaking has served me well as an attorney as I advocate for my clients in court.. After completing my undergraduate degree in one of my two loves, music, I went on to attend WMU Thomas M. Cooley Law School and graduated magna cum laude to practice my second love, law. My first goal was to find a place where I could work with colleagues who would share my love for parents and children in need and where the team would value a superior knowledge of Michigan law. I found that right away with the Kraayeveld Law team. Here, the attorneys work as a team to passionately represent clients at all stages of divorce and custody litigation.. In my free time, I enjoy spending family time with my husband and our two daughters, and my English Bulldog – Sir Howard the Magnifico – affectionately known as “Howie.”

Family law and real estate law are two areas where it helps to take a long-term view on every case. In real estate transactions and divorce settlements, a small mistake can have big consequences that don't become clear until much later.. When I represent individuals and small businesses with family law and real estate law, I not only help them resolve their current issues, but also watch out for their long-term interests.. I have been practicing law for more than 30 years, concentrating my practice on family law and real estate law for most of that time. I draw on all that experience when representing clients, so that I can help them solve problems and prepare for success.
