Personalized Advocacy For Over Two Decades In Missoula
Biography
I am a Montana native and attended West High School in Billings, Montana where I grew up. In 1993, I graduated with honors from the University of Montana with a political science degree. Following college, I joined VISTA (now known as Americorps) and assisted in developing and operating a literacy program in Montgomery, Alabama. I attended the University of Montana Law School from 1997 - 2000 and graduated with honors.
Prior to beginning my own family law practice in Helena in 2002, I clerked for District Court Judge Russell Fagg in Bilings and then Justice William Leaphart at the Montana Supreme Court. In 2003, I moved to Missoula to work at a local law firm, and I then opened my current family law practice in 2007. Since 2007, I have provided family law legal services to those in need in the Missoula and surrounding areas.
