I am a Board Certified Specialist in Family Law.  I graduated from Appalachian School of Law in 2008 and have since focused my practice exclusively on family law matters.  I represent people in divorce and separation, surrounding child custody and support, through property settlement and alimony matters.  I help people build families through adoption, name changes, and marital agreements.  I protect parents and children in domestic violence matters and as parent counsel in DSS matters. I believe problem-solving a primary responsibility of a lawyer. Assisting people through family chaos, ensuring the protection of their rights and property, helping to blend and expand families, and facilitating the transition to newly designed futures, is the heart of family law practice.
