I asked ChatGPT to describe me like it was warning someone before they met me.

One line stood out:

“Do not mistake kindness for softness. And definitely do not mistake her giving you the benefit of the doubt for her not noticing.”

As an attorney, I’ll take it.

It also informed me that I “detect inconsistencies like I’m conducting a cross-examination,” research five-minute decisions for three hours because I need to know which answer is actually right, and have a tendency to say, “I’ll handle it myself.”

Also fair. 😂

But underneath the humor was something that describes the kind of lawyer I have always wanted to be:

Once she decides you’re one of her people, she shows up when it’s inconvenient, fights battles that aren’t hers, helps fix problems, and makes sure you know someone is in your corner.

That part matters.

Family law often means meeting people during some of the hardest, most uncertain chapters of their lives. My clients don’t need someone who will simply tell them what they want to hear. They need someone who will pay attention, tell them the truth, help them understand their options, and stand beside them while they make difficult decisions.

So if my professional warning label is:

She notices everything. She asks questions. She cares deeply. And once you’re her client, she’s in your corner.

I think I’m okay with that.

Snacks & Freedom. ’Merica & Mama. 🇺🇸❤️

Griff and I had the best weekend celebrating America’s 250th Independence Day together—making memories, enjoying plenty of snacks, and soaking up time with family. One of my favorite moments was during the Boat Parade—Griff waved enthusiastically at every single boat that passed by, and each time someone honked in response, he burst into giggles. It was pure joy and such a sweet reminder of how magical these simple moments can be.

As we celebrate the freedoms we often take for granted, I’m especially grateful for the opportunity to serve our community and help families navigate life’s most challenging moments.

I hope each of you had a wonderful Independence Day filled with laughter, loved ones, and a little red, white, and blue.

Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Monday to Saturday… I don’t think my brain will ever fully understand how both of these things can exist in the same week.

On Monday, we were loading my son, Griff, into an ambulance and then onto a LifeFlight helicopter to Birmingham because he was bleeding - more than anyone was comfortable with - after a surgery the week before. It was one of those moments where everything goes quiet and loud at the same time, and you realize just how little control you actually have. I don’t think I breathed right again until we knew he was okay.

And then Saturday … he’s riding his bike, eating ice cream, laughing, acting like the world is exactly as it should be.

Meanwhile, I’m still standing somewhere back on that helipad trying to catch up.

I also want to say thank you - truly - to my incredible clients, colleagues, and the judges I regularly appear before. Your grace, flexibility, and understanding allowed me to be exactly where I needed to be this week. That kind of professionalism and humanity does not go unnoticed, and I am deeply grateful for it.

It’s a new week, and I am back in the office working on catching up. Thank you for your patience as I get everything back on track.

I don’t have a clean way to wrap this up except to say I am so, so thankful. Thankful for the people who showed up, for the hands that took care of him, for the prayers that carried us through, and for this wild, resilient little boy who just keeps going like nothing ever happened.

I’m still processing it all… but today I get to watch him be okay. And that’s everything. 🩵

Just finished up the deposition of a doctor in a custody case…

…and walked straight into this. ❄️

Apparently while I was inside discussing medical records and questioning parenting decisions, the weather decided to do its own emergency filing.

Somewhere between Birmingham and getting home, I’m realizing two things:

1. Doctors’ depositions are less stressful than driving Highway 280 in snow.
2. The entire city has lost its collective minds over half an inch of precipitation.

Somehow in the span of one deposition, Highway 280 turned into a live demonstration of what happens when Alabama sees frozen water fall from the sky.

Traffic is moving slower than a motion waiting on a ruling. 🚗

Pray for me.

Starting over after marriage ends isn’t the end of your story — it’s the first chapter you get to write entirely for yourself.
You’ll find peace where chaos used to live, confidence where fear once lingered, and joy in the quiet of your own company. 💛

It’s Friday, which means I’ve mediated six emotional cases, fielded twelve “urgent” texts, and eaten lunch exactly zero times at an actual table.
But I also helped three families find peace this week — and that’s the kind of victory that doesn’t fit on an invoice. 💛

💡 Know Your Rights:
If you’re facing a custody modification in Alabama, the standard isn’t just “what’s best for the child.”
You must prove that a change would materially promote the child’s welfare — and outweigh the disruption.
Translation? It’s a high bar — but not an impossible one with solid evidence and a focused case strategy.
