Affordable, compassionate, courteous service focused on family law issues, including divorce, custody, and support, and on employment law issues.
I served as staff attorney for Judge Thomas O'Grady of the Court of Appeals for the Second District before entering into private practice in employment and family law. My partner, Dianne Einstein, and I have a combined 20 years of experience with family and employment law and our paralegal contributes her own 27+ years of experience. We strive to provide the best legal service to our clients, understanding that family and employment law issues are frequently difficult and life-altering, and we make every effort to return calls promptly and to help our clients to feel as comfortable and secure as we can during our service to them.
Waddell v. Roxanne Laboratories, Inc. (May 6, 2004), Franklin App. No. 03AP-558 (unreported) (wrongful termination based on race discrimination); Wolfe v. Wolfe, a domestic case involving significant child support issues.

I became an attorney because of the diversity in practice areas and the opportunity to help individual clients solve their problems.
I worked for a commercial mortgage banking firm in Washington D.C. after obtaining my degree from Georgetown University; this background help me understand the financial components of the law, from how to calculate damages in employment matters to separating assets in a divorce. My experience as a mother enables me to understand the problems parents face when they sever their relationships or in drafting parenting plans.
I like the very human components of domestic and employment law. Whether at home or in their office, people develop very strong attachments and have similar reactions when either is threatened. I provide honest, straightforward advice to help clients move through the process.
As two women who are focused on the emotionally charged areas of domestic and employment law, we strive to provide the best level of service to our clients. I make every attempt to return phone calls with 24 hours so that my client is provided the support necessary to navigate a very difficult period in their lives.
I appreciate honest clients who are open with me regarding all aspects of their case and work with me to obtain the best possible result.
Being the mother of two small children, my family is my primary hobby. I also enjoy golf in those rare moments of free time.
I regularly donate funds or materials to the Kidney Foundation, American veterans, and Volunteers of America.

I discuss a potential client's matter over the phone to determine whether I can help them prior to scheduling an appointment.
