Attorney Information

Overview

I was born and raised in Lexington, Lafayette County, MO. I have worked at Aull, Sherman, Worthington, Giorza & Hamilton, LLC in some capacity since I was in high school as my father was also an attorney and partner in this firm. When I was young, I was intrigued by my father's profession as an attorney and his ability to help people obtain justice in the legal system. Thus sparked my desire to be an attorney. I completed my education at UMKC Law School in 2002 and chose to return to my hometown of Lexington to practice law. While I am active in the legal community, I am also active in the Lexington community in several different areas. I serve on two scholarship committee that provide fund to students to allow them to continue with their education. I am a member of numerous legal associations and I participate in the local Youth Court which allows high school students to learn about the legal system. I truly enjoy the intricacies and challenges that the law and each case provides. The legal profession has given me the opportunity to help people with a variety of problems and issues they may face and I strive to protect my client's rights in each and every case.

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.
