“Do No Harm, But Take No Bull.”

While I may not know you, or how interesting it may (or may not) be reading about the lives of the lawyers at The Law Shop, I imagine you’re looking for a spark or a connection. Something that tells you that when it comes to finding a lawyer, I am your person- someone you want walking along side you through the unknown. I can’t know the feelings with which you are sitting, but I imagine it weighs heavily on your mind. You can expect me to pay attention to the details and the “little things.” You can also expect me to provide encouragement while you are working through tough times as well as to be creative in writing an eloquent preface to your own next chapter. If I could be reduced to a few adjectives, I’m told my most pronounced characteristics are empathy, kindness, determination, perseverance, and grit. I’d like to think I’m a healthy ratio of all five.

How did I get here, an attorney at The Law Shop? Well, to start from the beginning, I had a great early childhood being raised on a farm with grandparents living a stone’s throw in all directions from our family home and a Huffy bike to get me to any one of them. My nickname is ‘Sparkplug’ as I kept a spent one out of a 454 big block Chevy being worked on by my Dad. We always had too many barn cats and a trusty farm dog.

My parents divorced when I was 10 years old. Their divorce had a profound effect on my siblings, my parents, and me. I did not have a great impression of the process, the judicial system, or the characters involved. So when I decided to go to law school after a decade of being an accountant in the automotive industry, family law was not of particular interest to me. I actively avoided it and consumed everything criminal law. But, like all things meant to be, organically I fell in rhythm to the beating drum of family law. Now I’m hooked and I can’t imagine not practicing in family law! Particularly, divorce. Weird, huh? That is what I like about life: it always has a way of making the punchline of a joke bittersweet. I get to take what I learned and experienced as a kid and do better for those I serve.

I’ve never known the “right” thing to say and I’ve always been awkward in my own way. However, I am an open book for the most part and enjoy listening to the stories of my clients and sharing my own as well, especially when it may be helpful to others in my work and personal relationships. I look forward to helping you author the next chapter in your own life story.
