Churubusco Divorce Lawyers

I am a United States Air Force Veteran serving for ten years with three deployments, including a combat deployment to Iraq. After leaving the military, I attended Indiana University-Purdue University where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in English with a concentration in writing. After college, I attended the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law. I was admitted to the Indiana Bar in 2015 and licensed to practice law in Indiana.

I am a graduate of Valparaiso University School of Law, a member of the National Lawyers’ Guild, and a private practice attorney representing clients in Indiana State and Federal Courts concentrating in Personal Injury Practice, General Civil Litigation and Family Law.

That’s why I focus on the fields of family law (divorce, visitation, guardianships, etc.), business law (business formation, law suits, breach of contract, etc.), real estate law and personal injury (car accidents, slip and fall accidents, dog bites, and other acts of negligence).
