My practice isn't about me, it's about you and your goals. If you're looking for a lawyer, you're probably dealing with a challenging and stressful situation. Do you have a loved one with dementia? Did you invest in a rental and now your tenant won't pay? Even exciting life changes, like opening a business or planning your esate, can be stressful without a guide. Knowing this, I strive to handle every matter with compassion and integrity.. I was born and raised in Hampton, and am dedicated to serving the Hampton Roads community as a professional and in my personal life. When I'm not at the office, I volunteer as a reader for the Mayor's Book Club and serve as the President Nominee & Grants Chair for the Rotary Club of Oyster Point. I also enjoy participating in local book clubs, yoga and art classes, and playing adult recreational sports.. You can follow me on twitter @VaPeninsulaLaw for law-related news.
