After graduating from the University of Missouri–St. Louis in 2009, I found myself at a crossroads, deciding between business school and law school. That decision became clear after a negative experience during a routine traffic stop showed me how intimidating and one-sided the legal system can feel when you’re facing it alone.

That moment changed my path and led me to Saint Louis University School of Law, where I earned my degree in 2015 while working full time during the day and attending classes at night. It was demanding, but it taught me discipline, resilience, and what it means to keep moving forward when the pressure is on.

Today, I use that same determination to help people facing DUI, traffic, and criminal charges. I understand how stressful these situations can be, and I believe every client deserves clear answers, a thoughtful strategy, and someone in their corner who takes their future seriously.
