Let Me Represent You
I want to make it as easy as possible for you to get the representation you need quickly.
Have questions or think you might need legal help? Contact my office to get answers and schedule your initial consultation. I'm here to listen and guide you through the next steps.
During your consultation, I’ll take the time to understand the details of your situation. This is where I start building a clear picture of your case and what’s at stake.
Once I’ve reviewed your case, I’ll develop a tailored legal strategy designed to protect your interests and give you the strongest possible representation.
With a plan in place, I’ll take the lead on your case. You can focus on moving forward, knowing that I’m in your corner, handling the legal work and fighting for your best outcome.
I am a full service domestic violence lawyer near you. My office is located at 216 E Main St Suite 201, Pomeroy, OH 45769. I provide attorney services in Ohio and West Virginia. My service area includes:
I don’t — and here’s why:
A consultation with me is not just a quick chat. We spend a full hour together taking a deep dive into your case. We’ll talk through the specific facts, how those facts might impact your matter legally, and map out the steps ahead. I’ll walk you through the court process, necessary documentation, potential challenges, and what comes next.
By the end of our consultation, whether or not you choose to retain me, you’ll walk away with a solid understanding of your situation and a personalized action plan. If I’m not the right fit for your case, I’ll be upfront and happy to refer you to a trusted colleague who is.
I believe in full transparency when it comes to billing.
In some situations, I do offer flat fee arrangements, depending on the complexity and scope of the case.
In many cases, yes.
Coming from a rural, working-class background, I understand that finances can be a barrier to getting the legal help you need. I believe in access to justice, regardless of your bank account.
If you’re worried about affordability, let’s talk. I’m often willing to work out payment arrangements, though the terms depend on several factors — including your case type and anticipated scope of work. We’ll discuss this in detail during your consultation.
My practice focuses on five core areas:
To put it simply: I focus only on areas of law that I’m passionate about. Legal work demands a high level of commitment and attention, and I believe you deserve an attorney who’s deeply invested in your issue. If it’s outside my wheelhouse, I’ll gladly help connect you with someone who’s better suited to handle it.
Yes.
I do not accept criminal defense cases involving allegations of:
As a strong advocate for victims, I choose not to represent individuals accused of these offenses.
The honest answer: it depends.
Every case is different — courts move at their own pace, and each matter comes with its own set of complexities. While I can’t give a one-size-fits-all timeline, during your consultation we’ll talk through the variables in your case and develop a reasonable idea of what to expect.
Here’s what to expect:
At the consultation, we’ll:
If you decide to move forward, we’ll document everything in a retainer agreement. You’ll receive some initial “homework” (what this is depends on your case). From there, my staff and I will get to work.
Absolutely.
I know how important your case is — and how stressful it can be not knowing what’s happening. My team and I strive to keep you informed every step of the way. We send regular updates via email or phone, and you’re always welcome to reach out via call, text, or email with questions.
This depends on the type of case you have.
Once the retainer agreement is signed, we’ll provide a tailored checklist of documents and tasks to help you get started. Don’t worry — we’ll guide you through it all.
In some situations — yes, it’s possible to go it alone.
For example, the Ohio Supreme Court provides forms for individuals who want to represent themselves (“pro se”). In very simple cases, those forms might be enough.
But legal matters often involve more than just filing the right paperwork. There are procedures, deadlines, and strategic decisions that can seriously impact the outcome. Without legal training, it’s easy to make mistakes that cost time and money.
That said, I price cases fairly based on their complexity and the level of legal expertise required — not just the number of hours it might take.
I know how complex the legal system can be. I want to make it as easy as possible for you to get expert representation for your case. Contact me today to get more information.
