We are here to help you! We want to be your lawyer for life.

On my family’s farm I learned how to make things work. Life is very much like a puzzle to me with problems and solutions. I use the creativity and common sense that I learned from my family and my top notch legal education to find the best solutions for my clients.

I grew up just north of Smithville, Missouri on a small farm. My dad was a union pipe fitter. My mom was a X-ray tech. Growing up I had 1 brother and 1 sister. There were 3 tractors and that really tells the story. I am the first in my family to be a lawyer in a lot of generations, according to Ancestry.com. I believe in justice and fairness even after all these years of practicing.

Before I passed the Missouri Bar, I started volunteering with Legal Aid of the Western District of Missouri. I have the privilege of representing people who really have no other options in the Municipal Court of Kansas City, Missouri and in State Court. I did everything from speeding to DUI/DWI.
