Attorney Information
Overview
Growing up in Livingston, Montana I understand the appeal and value of small towns. Which is why when my husband and I decided to make Beresford, SD our home I knew this is also where I wanted to open my practice.
My understanding of rural hometowns has prepared me to represent the members of my community well, and to do so with an empathetic ear during some of life’s most difficult moments. Whether you are needing help with estate planning, adoption, family law mediation, divorce, custody, criminal law or bankruptcy I am here, and eager to help you navigate what life has thrown at you with compassion and knowledge.
I am thankful that I decided to start my own firm because it has given me many opportunities I may not have had working in a larger firm. Some days are difficult but I love the work I do.
The best part of this is when I am able to see how people change after I am able to help them and how grateful they are for my help.
My Life & Family
During law school I met my husband, James, who grew up in Centerville, South Dakota. James, a farmer since birth, has been active in the agriculture business for life. We have three wonderful children together, Emma and our twin girls, Harper and Morgan.
We love living and working in Beresford as it is a supportive community and is very family oriented.
