What experiences (work and personal) help you to be a better attorney?
In my years of practice, I have had quite a bit of experience in the courtroom. I have done several jury trials as well as presented oral arguments on motions before judges. Additionally, my husband is also a lawyer and discussing legal concepts with him is very helpful.
What made you choose your primary area of law?
My law practice focuses on domestic and employment law. My clients are either going through a divorce or having problems with their employment. In other words, they are going through a stressful transition in their lives. I believe that I am compassionate, understanding, caring, and non-judgmental, and I really help my clients get through difficult times in their lives.
What makes your law firm unique?
I believe that it is really important to educate my clients about their cases and to communicate with them regularly. Unlike some law firms, I return my phone calls from clients within 24 hours.
Describe your ideal client.
My favorite clients are the ones who communicate with me about their cases and listen to my advice.
Describe your personal interests and hobbies.
I enjoy lifting weights and running.
Describe your charitable activities.
I serve as the Development Committee Chair for Vision and Vocational Services of Central Ohio. I help to raise funds for this organization that assists persons with visual or other disabilities by enhancing their quality of life and increasing their independence. Additionally, I am a volunteer at the Franklin County dog shelter and a member of the Rotary of New Albany.
