Practice Areas: Family

To read what some of my past clients would say about working with me, visit my website for testimonials.. Family law is a complicated and emotional area of the law, and it’s not one I would encourage people to navigate on their own.  My goal as a family law attorney is to help my clients understand the issues at hand, how we can deal with them, and what a judge might realistically do in their case.. While I never attempt to take on the role of a counselor or therapist, I do understand that this is a very emotional time, so I try to make the entire process as seamless as possible.  I do this by managing my client’s expectations of what the legal future may hold, as well as answering any questions they may have along the way. Specifically, I have found that preparing clients for mediation, hearings, etc., provides them with a great advantage. They have a better idea of what to expect when they walk into that setting.. Managing clients’ expectations is about giving them a realistic picture of what will most likely happen with their property, finances, and custodial time.  I’ll never paint a picture of perfection, because, as the saying goes, “in family law, there are no winners.”  Instead, I want my clients to walk away from their divorce process feeling satisfied, and confident that their lawyer led them in the right direction, always doing what was in the best interests of the family as a whole.. I love practicing family law because I love helping people when they need it most.  When people walk into my office, it’s usually one of the hardest times of their lives.  It is such a pleasure to help them make decisions that -- at the time -- seem extraordinarily difficult, but that they’ll eventually see as the right decisions for their family. It is so gratifying to watch people go from rock-bottom to happier, and healthier, sometimes in just a matter of months.. I am also a Certified Family Financial Mediator.* After spending 8+ years as a litigator, I felt that I could use my extensive courtroom experience to help guide people towards settlement outside the courtroom. Since becoming certified in April 2019, I have mediated dozens of cases, and have successfully helped a majority of those people settle. While I still handle many cases in active litigation on a regular basis, I have found that adding mediations to my practice has resulted in helping even more people reach a resolution in their lives. This brings me great joy, and I am very proud to help people in this way.. I not only handles divorce and custody matters, but I also helps my clients with alienation of affection cases. My most notable trial resulted in a $1.5 million judgment for alienation of affection while in Raleigh. After returning to Charlotte, I participated as co-counsel in an alienation of affection case, which resulted in a jury verdict of $1.3 million in our client’s favor. Subsequently, I handled another trial for alienation of affection which resulted in a $300,000 jury verdict in my client’s favor. Because of this experience, I am well-versed in the intricacies of the laws surrounding alienation of affection cases and have been selected as a CLE speaker on this topic.. The top three questions I answer for my clients are:. 1.      Can I leave the house or will that be deemed to be “abandonment”?. 2.      What is a realistic custody schedule I can expect?. 3.      How much support will I get, or pay, and for how long?. Each case is different, so during your initial consultation, we can address your specific concerns.. What you’ll get if you work with me:. When you work with me, you’ll get an advocate who’s caring, but honest, someone who will work hard to keep you out of court if at all possible, and who understands that your case is about you and what’s best for your family.. To book a mediation or consultation, please email me or visit my website for online scheduling.

Practice Areas: Estate Planning

Unlike other attorneys who practice estate planning or elder law in addition to a multitude of other services, I view this area of law as my life calling. I obtained a Certificate of Concentration in Elder Law while attending law school and continue to focus my continuing education efforts in the areas of estate planning and elder law in order to provide a higher level of service for my clients.. I believe that everyone – no matter the income level and no matter the family situation – deserves access to the protections afforded to them by law. I view my estate planning and elder law practice as a tool belt that I wear for the benefit of my clients; I have access to a variety of legal tools and mechanisms that can be used alone, or in combination, to create a plan that fits each client’s individual needs. Few things in life excite me more than being able to use my “tools” to take weight off of my clients’ shoulders and give them peace of mind. It’s no exaggeration to say that I treat each and every one of my clients with the same respect and attention that I give my own family members in need of my services.. My husband and I are thrilled to have relocated back "home" to the Charlotte area in 2013 with our basset hound, Pierre. If I can be of any assistance to you at all, please don't hestitate to call me or drop by my office. I'm always happy to help or point you in the right direction.
