Albert Einstein wrote, "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning." This quote has always resonated with me, so it should come as no surprise that my eighth-grade superlative was "Most Likely to Ask a Question." As it turns out, asking questions is an important attribute for an attorney, particularly an attorney dedicated to family law.

When we meet, I understand that we will be discussing the most important relationships in your life – perhaps it is the beginning of a new relationship with a spouse or child, or perhaps a relationship is changing, as is the case during a separation, divorce, or some other life event. It is important that we discuss all the questions and are frank with the answers – I want to learn about you, your family, your concerns, your goals, and your objectives; and I expect you will have quite a few questions for me, too. I am a zealous advocate and a determined litigator. Although no attorney can guarantee a particular result, I can assure you that I will professionally, compassionately, and tirelessly work with you from the beginning of your case to its resolution. I will ask plenty of questions along the way, and I will ensure that your questions are fully and completely answered so that you are able to act with confidence throughout the entire process.

Today, I live in Huntersville with my husband, twin girls, and two dogs, Pierogi and Ruthie. When I am not with my family, corralling pets, or practicing law, I enjoy cheering for the N.C. State Wolfpack and the Carolina Panthers, working on my latest home decorating project, and traveling both domestically and abroad.
