About Our Firm: Guiding You Through Life's Legal Intersections
The legal system touches every aspect of life—from milestones like marriage and the birth of a child to challenging times like divorce and death. Unfortunately, for many, interacting with the court system is associated with the worst moments in life, leaving them feeling angry, scared, or hurt. I understand this impression, and I am dedicated to changing it.
A Different Approach to Legal Counsel
The bureaucracy of the legal system can be frustrating and confusing. My mission is to coach you through this tangled system by adopting a holistic approach. Too often, legal action plans fail to consider the entire scope of a person's life, leading to less-than-ideal outcomes. I focus on looking at your complete circumstances to ensure you make the best possible legal decisions.
I recognize the stress that brings people to the courthouse, whether it's looming medical bills, credit card collections, a foreclosure threatening your home, or simply the need to plan for the future. These difficult situations—often stemming from job loss, divorce, or the death of a loved one—are always stressful.
Whether you are navigating a crisis or proactively working on estate planning (wills, trusts, health care proxies) or Medicare planning for elderly parents, consulting an attorney is always a wise decision.
Affordability and Accessibility
I know that cost is a major barrier preventing people from seeking legal help. To ensure everyone can benefit from an attorney, I offer affordable, transparent pricing with flat fees and flexible payment options, and subscription services.
I help clients through guidance, advice, and coaching to navigate the legal system effectively. We offer:
-
Unbundled Services and Document Preparation: Targeted, specific assistance.
-
Coaching: Empowering you to manage your case with professional legal guidance.
-
Full-Service Representation: Available when comprehensive representation is necessary.
My Background
The foundation of my practice is built on a deep understanding of human behavior and legal procedure:
-
Education: I hold a BA in Criminology from Portland State University and have extensive coursework toward a Master's in Public Administration. I received my Juris Doctor from The University of Tulsa College of Law.
-
Bar: I have passed the Bar in Oregon (2013), New York (2015), and Louisiana (2020).
-
Current Practice: I currently practice only in New York.
I am ready to help you navigate your legal journey with clarity, compassion, and expertise.
