About Me
I’m Alabama through and through, raised in the "country" in South Alabama, spent time on the Gulf Coast, and now call Huntsville home with my husband and our two dogs. I’ve been practicing law since 2001, and clients often describe me as passionate, persistent, and hard-working. Those traits have served me well across a wide range of legal work over the years.
I started my career as a prosecutor, focusing on crimes against children, and later opened my own general practice. I’ve handled everything from divorces and adoptions to criminal defense and estate planning. In 2013, I took a step away from traditional law to work directly with victims of sex trafficking, work that deeply shaped who I am and how I show up for others.
With more than 75 jury trials and hundreds of bench trials under my belt, I’ve helped clients through some of their most difficult times—whether in the courtroom or around the kitchen table discussing a will. At the heart of it all, my passion is helping people feel seen, heard, and supported, especially those who’ve experienced trauma or injustice. Today, I’m proud to serve as a Personal Family Lawyer®, helping families protect what matters most through thoughtful estate planning. I believe in giving clients peace of mind, a clear plan, and the confidence that their legacy will be preserved with care
We begin with a comprehensive inventory of everything you own, and everyone you love, and consider it all in a working meeting, called a Family Wealth Planning Session, to guide you to clarify your financial life and legacy goals before we draft a single document.
We work with you throughout every life stage to map out the most likely scenarios for you and the people you love, planning for each as your life, the law, and your assets change over time.
Our Life & Legacy Planning process ensures everything that matters most -- from your financial assets to your values, insights, stories and experience -- are captured and documented during your life and cared for over the generations to come.
Transparency in our process, and our fees … all of which are flat fees, agreed to in advance, based on your choices and with no surprises, ensuring we stay on the same side of the table - supporting you to make a lifetime of great decisions - every step of the way.
Our systems help you get clear and organized, overcoming the exact issues that keep most estate plans from actually working when they are needed most. We help you leave your family with a gift of love, and not a mess.
One-and-done estate plans focused only on money are a recipe for a big mess. We help you throughout every stage of life and be there for the people you love, when you can’t be.
