About
I’m a woman, wife, attorney and recovering at-home mom who recently returned to the practice of law.
After almost ten years of trial law, I left in order to work toward a healthier life balance. The most powerful part of the next two years was caring for my terminally ill father. After Dad died in the fall of 2001, I decided to be a full-time mom for a while before returning to law.
The “for a while” part lasted seven years. Having concluded that teenagers were minimally self-sufficient, I embarked upon a diversity of ventures, including writing, substitute teaching and giving unsolicited advice.
I recently opened my own practice, concentrating in estate planning, probate and a general civil practice.
I live in Rockford, Illinois, a great northern Illinois town of about 152,000. Residing there with me are one hubby of twenty-nine years, one teenage son and one teenage daughter. If pressed under oath, I will claim the teenagers. Also taking up space there are two four-leggers: Sadie the black Lab and Gabbie the mini Dachshund, boss of the world.
