My law practice is primarily dedicated to family law matters. I am certified by the Ohio State Bar Association as a specialist in Family Relations Law. Attorneys who devote a significant portion of their practice to family law may choose, as I have, to go beyond these requirements to earn specialty certification. This means that I have demonstrated substantial and continuing involvement in the field of family law, attend intermediate and advanced continuing legal education courses in the area of family law, , remain in good standing with the Supreme Court of Ohio and passed a written examination in the specialty area.
My undergraduate degree from Xavier University in Business Administration also helps me provide a detailed, customized approach to protect my client’s family-owned business, professional practice ( medical, dental) or high net worth investment portfolio. I work with a team of forensic accountants, appraisers, investment advisors and CPAs.
I have completed the Supreme Court of Ohio mediation training, parenting coordinator training and guardian ad litem training which helps me to create a tailored plan to meet your family, personal and financial goals when ending your marriage. I have spent my career helping families navigate difficult situations with grace, compassion and an unwavering commitment to my clients.
Outside of work, I dedicate many hours to local animal rescues. I am a passionate advocate for animal welfare, particularly dogs.
