Attorney Information

Overview

I have dedicated my career to representing the legal rights of injured individuals, and it is a privilege to have the opportunity each day to pursue justice on behalf of good people who are encountering difficult circumstances.

I am a native of St. Louis, Missouri, where I grew up with the goal of becoming a lawyer. I attended college at Webster University in St. Louis where I earned a B.A. in English, cum laude, and was a four-year member of the women's soccer team. Law school led me to Kansas City, where I quickly developed a sincere appreciation for the city's friendly atmosphere and progressive feel. I earned my J.D. from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law in 2011, where I served as the Articles & Symposia Editor of the UMKC Law Review.

For the past several years, I have represented individuals in employment and personal injury matters in Kansas City and St. Louis. There are many aspects of practicing law that I love, but nothing feels more satisfying than witnessing a client's sincere gratitude upon achieving justice on his or her behalf.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

How long have you been in practice?
How many cases like mine have you handled?
How often do you settle cases out of court?
What are your fees and costs?
What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
