As an experienced practitioner, I intimately understand the concerns and needs of my clients. I believe in the compassionate and individualized practice of law. Focusing on each client’s particular case, I work hard to provide a logical and reasonable resolution of the matter. My practice includes juvenile law, adoptions, criminal defense and family law.

I graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University in 2004 with a degree in Psychology and Humanities. I subsequently obtained my J.D. from Willamette University in 2008. While at Willamette, I was the Research Editor of the Willamette Journal of International Law and Dispute Resolution. I previously worked for a firm in Hillsboro, Oregon practicing juvenile law, criminal defense and family law. Prior to that, I was an associate for a firm in Salem, Oregon and primarily practiced family law.

I am a member of the Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, the OCDLA Juvenile Law Section, the Executive Committee of the Juvenile Law Section and the Family Law Section of the Oregon State Bar. Finally, I am the creator and administrator of juviwiki.com

In my spare time, I enjoy working in my garden, photography and spending time with my incorrigible golden retriever, Hayley.
