Law Firm Overview

I am a Fellow in the Collaborative Law Institute of Illinois (CLII). In 2004 was asked to serve on the Board of Directors for CLII. As a Fellow and Board Member, I have been actively promoting growth of the collaborative movement in all areas of practice in Illinois. I am also the Legislative Sub-chair of the Women in the Law Committee for the Illinois State Bar Association (ISBA), which focuses on issues specifically impacting women and families. Through my work with both CLII and the State Bar, I have had many opportunities to speak on the issue of collaborative practice and its growing importances as a dispute resolution model.
