Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice.
– Proverbs 31:8-9 NLT
Your Justice Is My Priority
I am just a country girl who began to dream at an early age. At the age of eleven, I began to dream of becoming an attorney because I wanted to help people, children particularly. At the age of seventeen, I began working in the legal field working my way up from being a high school intern to receptionist, legal assistant to graduate legal intern. And at the age of twenty-nine, I have become licensed to practice law in the State of Indiana. BUT becoming an attorney was only part one of my dream.
To ultimately fulfill my childhood dreams and lifelong ambitions, I have chosen to open a law firm, practicing solo surrounded by experienced attorneys who have offered to support me in my endeavors and assist in my practice whenever neccessary, in an area of the state which I have always called home. Born and raised up in Johnson County Indiana, graduating from Indian Creek High School, receiving both of my collegiate degrees from Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis and Robert H. McKinney School of Law in Indianapolis, spending more vacations than I begin to count in the horse park of Brown County State Park… Southern-Central Indiana is my home. I am a member of a local church, an auxiliary member of the local Legion Post, and have served as a 4-H Leader in Johnson County since completing my 10 years.
I am the daughter of a veteran who served in the Indiana Army National Guard for thirty-six years and of a teacher who taught in a local elementary school system for thirty-six years. Service runs through my blood, and I am ready to serve you with your legal needs.

Commitment to Clients
Communication
Key to a successful lawyer-client relationship is communication. I guarantee that I will take the time necessary to listen to the information you want to share with me and to reciprocate with the information you need to know about your case. Knowledge can provide peace of mind, and I will strive to provide that whenever able to do so.
Honesty
I know that you are coming to me to seek my advice and assistance. Sometimes, I will be able to assist in the way you desire, but other times, I will need to share with you undesirable advise or information. I am committed to do so in the most respectful way possible. No matter the circumstances, I will be honest with you.
Diligence
Cases require time, research, and work. I am dedicated to putting in what is necessary to achieve the outcome desired in your case. I can never make a guarantee of what an outcome will be, but I can guarantee I will be diligent in working for you.

Integrity
In the way of the cowboy, a man or woman is only worth as much as their word. If we choose to enter a lawyer-client relationship, we will be committing by contract, but you can also value my word highly. When I say I am going to do something, I am going to do it. When I say I am going to fight for you, I mean it.
