About

For more than 30 years, I have been privileged to help my clients successfully navigate legal situations through my experience and skills in strategic negotiation, clear drafting, and practical problem solving.

My experience, skill and passion includes assisting clients in the areas of business, corporate and limited liability law, employment law, business transactions, health care law, banking and commercial transactions and real estate transactions.

From business start-ups to large, international and multi-million dollar businesses, my approach with clients is to listen, understand objectives and provide common-sense, trusted advice. In negotiations, I adapt the strategy to maximize leverage and accomplish my clients’ objectives with integrity and respect. If the relationship allows for interjection of humor and fun, all the better!

My interests outside of the practice of law include boating, reading, gardening and spending time with my family, including my husband of over 30 years, my two adult children and granddaughter.

“I am a first generation lawyer and a multi-generation entrepreneur. Having grown-up in the small village of Lowell, Wisconsin surrounded by hard-working and fearless entrepreneurial parents and siblings, as well as owning small businesses with my husband, I understand and empathize with business owners and leadership teams in the matters that keep them up at night.”
