As a licensed attorney in Tennessee since 2000, I have always focused my practice as an advocate for families, specifically children. I have represented families and served as Guardian ad Litem for countless children in many counties in middle Tennessee for over 25 years. My practice has evolved to focus on adoptions, as I have seen the need for permanency for children. I currently handle many types of adoptions (to include involuntary termination litigation, voluntary surrenders/consents, related and unrelated adoptions), ICPCs, and family mediations. I was privileged to serve as the Chair for the TBA Adoption Law Section from 2021-2022 and continue to serve in the section as an active member in lobbying for improvements in adoption laws for Tennessee.
