I am on a mission to serve my community by helping awesome people do awesome things. My practice focuses on helping social entrepreneurs and community builders develop innovative relationships and economic models that emphasize sustainability, collaboration and sharing. My role as legal counsel is to help my clients understand and navigate laws and regulations while managing relationships with the
government and other people to improve their chances of success and fulfillment. My experience leading the operations of a mission-driven small business has provided me with a practical, real-world foundation that enhances my approach to the practice of law. As the driving force behind the growth and sustainability of a retail and educational herbal apothecary, I wore many hats. I understand firsthand the multifaceted challenges business owners face - balancing compliance with day-to-day realities, managing financial uncertainty, navigating employment matters, and making decisions under pressure. This background allows me to bring not only legal insight, but also operational empathy and strategic foresight to my work. I am particularly attuned to the importance of clear, actionable guidance and I understand how legal issues intersect with day-to-day business operations. My clients appreciate counsel that is not only technically sound but also pragmatic. My approach centers on cultivating strong collaborative dynamics and maintaining high standards of professionalism, especially in complex or emotionally challenging situations. I also focus on amicable, no-court divorces, especially for couples who want to separate with intention, maintain mutual respect, and protect their emotional and financial well-being. My approach combines legal structure with emotional intelligence, ensuring that the process feels collaborative, efficient, and aligned with your long-term goals.
