Attorney Information
Overview
I attended Bridgewater State College in Massachusetts, where I received a bachelor’s degree in psychology with minors in forensic psychology and philosophy. I later received a master's degree in Crime and Justice Studies from Suffolk University in Boston. After relocating to Virginia, I completed my Juris Doctorate at George Mason University School of Law. As a third-year law student, I gained practical experience representing indigent clients in General District Court proceedings, while interning at the Fredericksburg Public Defender's Office.
My professional career over the past several years includes diverse roles within the criminal justice system. I worked as a Magistrate in the Fifteenth Judicial District for three years, where I gained in-depth knowledge of Virginia Criminal Code and probable cause requirements. I went on to attend the Rappahannock Regional Criminal Justice Academy as a Deputy Sheriff for Spotsylvania County where I achieved the Top Academic Achievement Award. After three years as a patrol Deputy, I was promoted to Detective in the Child Victims Unit. Prior to joining Spencer, Meyer and Koch, PLC, I was the Director of Victim Witness Services for Fredericksburg City. I worked closely with the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office and assisted clients through the court process. Through my years working here, I have close ties within this community, in the courts and criminal justice system.

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.
