I have been practicing law in middle Tennessee since 1987. I began my career at a law firm in downtown Nashville, worked with the Tennessee Attorney General’s Office, was in-house attorney with a major manufacturing company and have had my own firm since 1996. Professionally, I am a member and past president of the Williamson County Bar Association, a member and past Treasurer of the Lawyers’ Association for Women, and a member and past secretary of the Tennessee Lawyers’ Association for Women. I am admitted to practice in all Tennessee state courts and in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee.

Additionally, I have met the qualifications and completed the training to be listed as a Rule 31 Family Mediator in Tennessee, and I have been practicing alternative dispute resolution (ADR) since 1997.

When clients choose me, they know that they will be working directly with an attorney who brings over 30 years of experience to their case and their representation.

General law practice—trial lawyer—both civil and criminal litigation. My experience in civil litigation includes divorces, adoptions, custody, visitation, child support disputes, juvenile court work, probate, probate administration, business and partnership disputes, real estate disputes, personal injury cases, guardianships and conservatorships, dependency and neglect cases, termination of parental rights, orders of protection and restraining order issues, residential and commercial lease matters, and other general matters. Also, I handle non-litigated matters such as drafting and reviewing contracts, wills and estates matters, small business formation and issues, and other general matters.
