I have long been a strong advocate for children. Before attending law school, I was a social worker for the Bureau of Milwaukee Child Welfare. Now as an attorney, I help families involved in divorce and paternity proceedings, grandparent and foster parent rights cases, and in complicated CHIPS and termination of parental rights matters. I also serve as a mediator, as well as a guardian ad litem, representing the best interest of children. In all cases, I seek creative solutions that work for families and protect children’s rights.
