Why Families in Asheville Choose Five Points Family Law
Experience on both sides of the system
Before opening my firm, I worked for the child support services agency serving Buncombe, Transylvania, and Polk counties. I understand how support is calculated, enforced, and modified from the inside, and I use that knowledge to protect the families I represent.
A foundation built in the courtroom and the classroom
I earned my law degree, cum laude, from Michigan State University College of Law in 2016, and I began my career clerking for a judge with a busy family law docket. I have been licensed in North Carolina since 2019.
A calm, client-first approach
I keep the process as steady and constructive as your situation allows, which is better for you, your finances, and your children.
A parent who understands what is at stake
Outside the office, I am raising a family of my own, and that perspective shapes how I support every client.
