For over 26 years, I have practiced law with a focus on helping people—whether in a courtroom, across a conference table, or during one of life’s toughest moments.

My legal career began during law school, when I clerked at the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office. That early experience—preparing witnesses, writing motions, and even litigating in court under supervision—sparked my passion for trial work and public service. After graduation, I joined a respected mid-sized litigation firm in downtown Chicago, where I gained invaluable experience handling complex civil cases for major clients.

Soon after, I co-founded a small law firm, where I helped build a full-service practice from the ground up. In 2012, I launched my own solo firm in Des Plaines, working directly with clients on everything from personal injury and civil rights cases to divorce, custody, and real estate matters. I’ve appeared in both state and federal courts, conducted jury and bench trials, and successfully resolved disputes through negotiation, mediation, and arbitration.

As a solo practitioner, I wear many hats—trial lawyer, advisor, small business owner, and counselor. I know firsthand what it takes to manage cases with care and precision while ensuring that each client feels seen and heard. In addition to running my own business, I volunteered as an elected school board member for River Trails School District 26 and have long been active in pro bono legal clinics serving survivors of domestic violence and working families in need.

My path to this point hasn’t been traditional—but it’s been grounded in hard work, fairness, and a deep belief in service. That’s the experience I’ll bring to the bench.
