I believe in client-centered lawyering. I bring this view to all the cases I works on, creating a strong bond and relationship with each client. I believe that cases are a team effort between the firm and the client, where the client is the captain of the ship, and I helps make sure each client is steered in the proper direction to obtain his/her goals.. I earned my J.D. from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law in 2016, where I graduated with Academic Distinction. While there, I worked for the University of Denver Criminal Defense Clinic for almost two years where I explored my passion for indigent defense. At the clinic, I represented clients in county and municipal court, conducted legal research and drafted constitutional motions on behalf of my clients. I continued my interest in criminal defense by working for the Colorado State Public Defender as a certified intern in the summer of 2015. There, I handled my own docket, and represented clients in county court charged with misdemeanor and traffic offenses. In total, I gained extensive experience through handling over 100 cases and trying many jury trials.

People come to me in a high state of stress. Often times they have been struggling for years to pay their debts. I take great care in explaining the entire bankruptcy process; from the pre-filing stage to the meeting of creditors. The upfront costs are explained which include attorney fees, filing fees and the counseling course fees. When meeting with a potential new client, my focus is to determine what is in their best interest. Sometimes there is no doubt filing for bankrutpcy protection is the right course of action. In other situations, filing a bankruptcy isn't really appropriate. The initial meeting with new clients usually lasts about an hour and by the end of that hour clients will often express a great sense of stress relief. This is why I enjoy the work I do.
