I became an attorney because of my personal strengths in communicating, deciphering problems and analyzing situations, and also because I genuinely enjoy problem solving.

I believe that a great deal of my interpersonal experiences have shaped me both as an individual and as an attorney. A great deal of my daily job is interacting with people, so I always try to learn from these valuable experiences. Such exchanges have helped me to become an exceptional listener and an effective communicator, two traits that are crucial in my practice.

I clerked at the Franklin County Public Defender’s Office during law school, an opportunity that familiarized me both with criminal defense and traffic law, as well as the practical aspects of being an attorney in those areas.

Luftman, Heck & Associates, LLP, is unique in that the other attorneys and I all take an immense amount of pride in distinguishing ourselves from other professionals in our given practice areas. We hold ourselves to a very high standard.

My ideal client would be an individual who recently has been charged with an OVI/DUI and is in need of my expertise in the area to guide him/her through what can be an incredibly difficult time in one’s life.

I love to travel and have done so extensively in Europe and elsewhere. As a history major, I have a unique appreciation for the historical importance of the places I visit, as well as for the aesthetic beauty of wherever I happen to be. I also enjoy playing and watching sports of all kinds. In general, I love to experience new things.

In 2006-2007, I was a volunteer mentor/tutor to a 5th grade student at a local elementary school through Big Brothers/Big Sisters. Also in 2007, I volunteered at the Special Olympics Summer Games in Columbus, Ohio.
