I grew up in Eugene, Oregon, and have returned to put my skills to work for my local community. Noticing a decline in practicing lawyers and a need for estate planning and elder law attorneys, especially for underserved communities, I aim to do what I can to address this gap. My personal experience raising a child with a disability has given me insight into the challenges families face and the need for competent legal counsel in preparing Special and/or Supplemental Needs Trusts.

With 20 years experience helping attorneys navigate legal malpractice claims, both in private practice and as a Claims Attorney at the Professional Liability Fund, I now provide legal ethics advice and disciplinary defense work.

I am dedicated to using my experience to help people resolve their issues and move forward. Learn more about me here.
