Get The Legal Reassurance You Need
I began my own firm in 2010 after having identical triplets in 2009. I decided to dedicate my practice to family law and estate planning and to move my office to Greensburg. My goal was to provide effective and compassionate legal counsel.
Being a mother allows me to better understand the difficulties involved with custody. I also have experience serving as a guardian ad litem in both Westmoreland and Armstrong counties. In these cases I am appointed by the court to advocate for the best interest of the children involved in both contentious custody cases and cases where the Westmoreland County Children’s Bureau has assumed custody of a child due to abuse or neglect.
I find this work to be very rewarding and it gives me a unique perspective of understanding how the children are affected in a divorce or custody action. I feel this experience makes me a better family lawyer.

Receive Dedicated Legal Representation You Can Trust
Often my initial contact with a client often comes when they are contemplating filing for divorce or custody, or they were served with divorce or custody paperwork. I explain the court process and I try to answer any questions a client may have. My goal is to let them know that while they are dealing with some very difficult and emotional issues that we will get through it together and that it will get better.
I also meet with clients regarding developing an estate plan. I usually prefer to meet with folks in person to do this. I like to get an understanding of their family and their goals. I explain all the options and allow them to decide which planning tools are the best fit for them. Some plans involve complicated trust drafting, and others may only involve a simple will. I treat clients the way I would want my family to be treated.
