My practice focuses on helping individuals, families, and closely held businesses navigate complex legal and financial decisions. I work with entrepreneurs, professionals and property owners who need practical legal guidance that reflects both legal realities and the broader business and personal context in which decisions are made.
Before founding my firm, I built my career across several industries, gaining hands-on operational and management experience long before becoming an attorney. I began working at seventeen and progressed from stock clerk to warehouse manager at a technology export company, from office assistant to associate general manager for a media company, and from administrative coordinator to director of compliance for a real estate development firm—all while earning my degrees and building a family. Those experiences shaped the way I practice law today. I understand how organizations function internally, how businesses grow, and how families balance personal, financial, and professional responsibilities. My work often involves building consensus among stakeholders, managing risk, and resolving disputes in ways that allow people and businesses to move forward.
After several years working both as an associate attorney and as in-house counsel, I founded my private practice in 2015. Since then, I have focused on providing thoughtful, pragmatic counsel to clients who value careful analysis, clear communication, and long-term planning. I find it especially rewarding to work behind the scenes helping businesses and families build strong foundations—whether that involves protecting assets, structuring transactions, resolving disputes, or planning for the future. At its core, my work is about helping clients create stability and opportunity for themselves and the people who depend on them.
