Business Owner

Twenty years ago, prior to my entering into the field of law, my husband and I lost our house to foreclosure and we filed bankruptcy. I know how people facing foreclosure and bankruptcy feel because I’ve been there myself. I can empathize with my clients while I represent them.

I began my career as a paralegal. I worked for a medical malpractice attorney for over ten years. Then I became a paralegal for a creditor’s rights attorney for four years, working my way up the firm to become the controller and office manager, all the while attending law school and offering part-​time paralegal services to other attorneys.

Upon graduating law school and passing the bar, I worked as a general practice attorney for a small law firm in Chardon, Ohio. It was there that I began concentrating on foreclosure defense, creditor/​debtor law, and landlord/​tenant law.
