for me. While I built strong relationships with my colleagues, law enforcement and court personnel, due to the nature and volume of cases, I didn’t have the opportunity to build relationships with the people I was charged to represent. As a prosecutor, my client was the State of North Carolina, not any one person.
In 2001 I opened the doors to my first law office. At the time I was one of very few female attorneys in private practice in Union County. I have been building relationships with, and helping, individuals with their family law related legal issues ever since. I have set out to be the very best I can in my profession for my clients. This led me to being certified by the North Carolina State Bar as a family law specialist , being certified by the North Carolina Dispute Resolution Commission as a family financial mediator, and becoming a member of the Charlotte Collaborative Divorce Professionals. Both the certifications and the collaborative group require additional annual training and continuing legal education above and beyond the North Carolina State Bar requirements. My clients can be assured that I have the knowledge, experience, and credentials to guide them through one of the most difficult times in their life. Most importantly, my clients know I care.
