What experiences (work and personal) help you to be a better attorney?
There have been a number of experiences that have made me be a better attorney - whether it be learning from my mentors, listening to judges, attendling CLE's or just practicing law each and every day.
What makes your law firm unique?
Our law firm is unique in that we offer a one stop shop for clients for all of their legal needs in the areas in which we practice. As it relates to family law, we can handle prenuptial agreements, divorces, custody disputes, determination of spousal support/and or child support, step-parent adoptions, and post-decree motions such as contempts and modifications. As it relates to real estate, not only does our practice handle transactional work (i.e. drafting and reviewing contracts, drafting and reviewing leases, drafting and reviewing loan documents, setting up entities, etc.), but our office also handles full-fledged civil litigation as well.
Describe your personal interest and hobbies.
Outside of the practice of law, I love spending time with my husband, our two children, and our dog. We enjoy playing tennis, golf and riding bikes with each other
