Primary Practice Areas

Family law matters like divorce, custody, and protective orders—where the most precious part of your world meets the legal system—can feel overwhelming. My approach to representing you starts with a dedicated, empathetic understanding of your individual needs. I believe your background or access to resources should never determine the quality of your legal support, particularly in this crucial area of law. By focusing on ethical, solution-focused advocacy, the goal is always to reduce conflict and find stable, equitable outcomes that protect your future and support your family.

When facing civil disputes such as demanding personal injury compensation or battling complex contract or property disagreements, recovery shouldn't be limited by resources. Too often, justice is sacrificed because the thought of legal hassle seems greater than the potential benefits. I take an aggressive, results-driven approach to ensure the cost and burden of litigation won’t prevent you from getting the maximum compensation you deserve.

When facing down government agencies, licensing boards, or immigration proceedings, you need a confident guide. I provide effective representation in the complex arena of administrative law. The goal is to ensure your voice is heard, your documentation is accurate, and your rights are aggressively defended against large institutional hurdles. By utilizing solution-focused advocacy, the firm ensures that the law serves to provide fair access and resolution, rather than allowing systemic complexity to deny you justice or opportunity.

When your civil rights are challenged or you face discrimination in employment, housing, education, or public access, you need fierce, ethical advocacy. My practice in this area is deeply informed by the need to protect individuals from being unfairly targeted or marginalized. My firm operates on the foundational belief that the legal system's job is to uphold rights, not weaponize conflict or allow abuse. By providing solution-focused support, my goal is to ensure that every person receives the equal treatment and dignity the law demands.

Facing a criminal charge is one of the most stressful experiences a person can endure. My criminal defense practice is grounded in my B.S. in Forensic and Investigative Sciences from Purdue University, where I also worked with the Major Felony Unit of the Public Defender Agency. This ensures every case benefits from a detailed, evidence-based approach to discovery and case development. My goal is always to uphold your rights and help you navigate the legal system effectively, regardless of your background or resources.

Planning for the future, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and establishing guardianships for adult children or vulnerable family members is crucial for your peace of mind. I offer sensitive, meticulous guidance for clients, understanding that planning for continuity is especially vital for families supporting individuals with disabilities. My focus is on creating personalized, legally sound frameworks that ensure your wishes are honored and that your loved ones receive the protection and care they need without unnecessary court conflict.
