PERSONAL
I moved to McKinney, Texas in 2003 when I married a Texan. My husband and I have 9 children and 7 grandchildren between us. I am active in my church. I have been a lawyer for over 20 years and have practiced family law exclusively for most of that time. I have tried hundreds of jury trials and thousands of bench trials. I provide competent straight-forward representation and can be counted on to tell it like it is. I feel a huge responsibility to each and every client. Feel free to call for a telephone or office consultation. I would be happy to meet with you.
