About Us

ABOUT US

We are both multi-award-winning family law attorneys. We have been partners since 2020 and started our own firm in 2023.  We take our jobs as bosses, leaders, and mentors very seriously, and we run our firm with empathy, passion, and intentionality.  Neither of us is capable of doing anything without putting all of our energy, heart, and acumen into it.

FORWARD FACING is the place where we come together to discuss what is important to us and to share our unique bond with our guests and with you.
