My practice is focused on assisting clients with preparing their estate documents such as wills, living trusts, powers of attorney and advance medical directives to ensure their wishes are clearly expressed, and to maximize what they pass on to loved ones with as little court intervention as possible. I enjoy assisting people in this manner because of the sense of peace of mind it usually brings when their documents are finalized.
I received my law degree from St. Mary's University School of Law in 1996 and became licensed later that same year. I initially began working as a family law attorney in Austin and adjacent counties. After having children of my own, I accepted a job with the Travis County Domestic Relations Office. There I worked as a visitation enforcement officer with the Juvenile Division. During that time, I also became a Credentialed Mediator. After working with families in high conflict situations for so long, I decided to transition back into private practice in 2014 with a concentration on estate planning.
In my spare time I enjoy traveling, participating in a book club and being active in my local community. I also volunteer my professional time through the Austin Dispute Resolution Center and Volunteer Legal Services of Central Texas.
