The Team @
My Legal Helper
For nearly two decades, I have been involved in the justice system, serving in various roles such as a corrections officer, deputy sheriff, and administrator of family law programs. Throughout this time, I have also supported family and friends in navigating the legal system, offering resources to empower them as their own best advocates. This collective experience has fueled my passion for the law.
In 2023, I successfully obtained my law degree. I don’t intend to practice as a lawyer but I feel a strong calling to continue aiding individuals in navigating the legal landscape within the scope of the authorized services I can provide.
I am here to help and serve you in your family or criminal legal needs.
