I advocate with knowledge and heart for my clients.  I care about each of them and strive to know and understand each person as an individual and not just as a client.. Prior to law school, I worked as a paralegal for Adams Law Group primarily doing work on Social Security Disability, Workers' Compensation, and Bankruptcy cases.  My years working as a paralegal gave me a vast understanding of the inner workings of the court systems, and allow me to give you a very realistic opinion of how the law can affect you and your legal situation.. Originally from Santiago, Chile, I have been a proud Missourian for over 45 years.  I love the St. Louis area, the friendly people who live here, and of course, the Cardinals.  In my spare time I enjoy traveling, reading medieval British history, movies, dancing, genealogy, animals, art, and getting lost in really great audiobooks.. Call or email me if you want to discuss your case.  I'm happy to talk to you!
