Family Law (Transactional/Litigation)

Columbia, Missouri

Personal Introduction

I understand that the legal journey involved with family building can be overwhelming and emotionally challenging. Navigating a judicial system full of formalities and complicated procedures, all while trying to ensure the process is done correctly, can be daunting. For this reason, I blend my legal knowledge and experience with sensitivity, understanding, compassion, and warmth. It is my mission to nurture a relationship with my clients where they feel seen, heard, and cared for throughout their journey. I am passionate about running an inclusive practice; I serve clients of all types, at any stage of their family building. Additionally, I think it is critical to educate and empower the LGBTQ+ community on how to provide security for their family through the confirmation of their parental rights. Especially now, as those rights are actively being questioned.
