Attorney
Since 2003, my sole focus has been to help people who’ve been injured on the job, injured because of negligent drivers and/or other personal injuries. I don’t dabble with bankruptcies or traffic tickets or anything else that isn’t directly related to injury cases.* I am strictly an injury attorney who is ready to fight on your behalf.
I worked on the other side of the table, so to speak, before I went to law school. I saw how people were treated by several insurance companies and big corporations. My observation was that more times than not, the insurance companies thought everyone was a liar and wasn’t really hurt (no matter what proof you showed). And the big corporations? They don’t really care what excuses you have (i.e. death or dismemberment), they want their mortgage/lease/you-name-it payment.
Just because you were seriously injured doesn’t mean the bills will stop coming in. In fact, it is usually the exact opposite. And with more and more people texting and driving than ever, the cases are only getting more severe. The human body wasn’t designed to withstand impacts from 5,000+ pound vehicles and 80,000 pound tractor trailers.
I have dedicated my career to helping those that are injured AND to make the roadways a safer place. With my expertise, I will fight to make sure you are taken care of.
*I do help indigent clients through the Legal Services of Southern Missouri periodically on cases that are sometimes not related to injury cases.

I joined Easter Law Firm as an attorney in 2024. This is actually my return to the firm after working here as a legal assistant prior to attending law school; I loved it so much I just had to come back! I graduated from Oklahoma City University School of Law, where I participated in the Norick Municipal Clinic and received a Certificate in Alternative Dispute Resolution. I received my Bachelor of Science in Planning from Missouri State University. Prior to working here, I was the associate attorney for the City of Ozark, Missouri, primarily prosecuting the municipal traffic docket.
I know how difficult and stressful it can be to experience a car accident or other sort of personal injury. However, I am glad for the opportunity to be at a firm so dedicated to our clients and be able to provide assistance and compassion as we move through this process together. It is my goal to work with our clients to reach a resolution that can, in some ways, help get their lives back.
When I am not at work, you can most likely find me spending time with family and friends, learning to cook new recipes, reading, or visiting antique stores.
Office Manager
As Office Manager for Easter Law Firm, experience, drive and work ethic are essential to the function of the job. My last decade as office manager – coupled with my 15 years prior experience with technical writing, title research and multiple tasks in the area of support staff prepared me well for the challenges of this position.
I am responsible for past, present and future office processes and procedures to ensure a client friendly environment, effective case processing and efficient office procedures. From the initial consultation intake, to gathering and dispersing information during the case as well as archiving the data after the case is closed, it is my charge to ensure that all information is handled in the utmost professional manner. I am also responsible for many of the daily functions to keep the office running effectively and efficiently. Scheduling appointments, daily accounting, and supervision of the support staff are only a few of my duties. Reviewing, evaluating and recommending proposals from vendors is also included among my responsibilities.
Paralegal
I’ve been a dedicated paralegal at Easter Law Firm since 2018. Over the years, I’ve applied my MSU degree in Digital Art to our work here, creating impactful PowerPoints, animations, and graphics for mediations and trials. I am here to support our two wonderful attorneys and communicate effectively with clients, insurance adjusters, and opposing counsel. It’s all about making the legal journey smoother for our clients during some of the most difficult times of their lives.
When I’m not at work, you’ll find me at home snuggling my two adorable kitties.
Legal Assistant
Though I only came to Easter Law Firm in 2022, I have been given ample opportunities for gaining knowledge and skills in the legal field in my role as Legal Assistant. I am currently a senior at Missouri State University, where I am majoring in communication. I enjoy using the knowledge and skills gained through my education to help the law firm connect with its clients and the community.
In my role, I provide a warm and welcoming experience to incoming clients by greeting them in a friendly manner, answering their questions, and making them feel comfortable in the law firm. I communicate important information to clients in a clear and concise manner, both verbally and in writing. I also answer client questions and address their concerns in a timely and professional manner. I prepare and draft legal correspondence, such as letters, memos, and requests. Alongside my fellow employees, I maintain and organize our firm’s complex file structure. I manage the law firm’s Instagram account. This includes creating and scheduling posts that are informative, engaging, and visually appealing.
