I have practiced family law exclusively since being licensed to practice by the North Carolina Bar. Many people ask me if I have always wanted to practice family law, and the truth is I have not. Going into law school I envisioned myself focusing on environmental and constitution law and going on to practice in a firm focusing on government and public policy. This is how I pictured myself making a difference through my career. During law school I fell in love with trial advocacy and with prior experience with civil litigation as a paralegal, I thought best to explore other options. An internship with a local family law attorney and representing victims of domestic violence while participating in Legal Aids 50B program made me realize I wanted to make a difference on a much more personal level. Having been a family law practitioner now for several years, I know there is truly no other area of law I would rather be in.
