<\/p>\n
The focus of my practice is on peaceful resolution to legal disputes. When possible, I empower my clients with knowledge to help them to avoid costly legal mistakes and litigation. If there is no alternative but to resolve a matter in court, my focus is on preserving relationships and the best interest of the parties and the children.<\/p>\n
I carry these same values into all areas of practice, and offer confidential, compassionate legal defense in criminal matters, mediation centered resolution to family law matters and win-win solutions to various types of legal disputes.\u00a0 My special interest is in assisting juvenile offenders to seek alternative programs to get back on track and I’ve taught the Williamson County Teen Court Program for more than a decade.<\/p>\n
Our firm embraces core values and is dedicated to providing compassionate service to our communities. \u00a0I am always delighted to meet a new friend. \u00a0Please call me if you have any questions. \u00a0Blessings!<\/p>\n
