I grew up in Arizona riding horses in Gilbert, playing sports, and having a pretty awesome childhood. My family had its rough times, but we made it through. I believe that when difficult things happen in our lives, how we respond will dictate how well we succeed. I became a family law attorney because I am dedicated to helping families thrive, and I believe that family law issues can be opportunities for growth. I started a law firm with my friend and fellow attorney Georgette Hasiotis, with the clear vision to provide our clients with excellent legal representation coupled with the information they need to make the best decisions for themselves, their children, and their families.
