Meet the Team

Deb has been practicing law for over 20 years. Prior to this career, she worked in the financial services industry.

Deb began her career with Legal Aid in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. In February of 2005 she left Winston-Salem to begin working exclusively in the family law area in the greater Charlotte metropolitan area and loves every aspect of this area of law. Deb not only finds it rewarding because she has the privilege of assisting clients to resolve matters of the upmost importance, but she also works hard to educate and empower clients to make decisions. For many, this may be the first time clients understood they had the power to make real change in their lives and Deb enjoys helping people understand how these changes are important to both her client and her client’s family.

Through Deb’s life experiences, she understands the challenges people face and how one decision can impact the rest of a client’s life. Life-changing events such as separation, divorce, or child custody are difficult. Deb’s knowledge of the law and life experience will assist clients through the process so clients can begin regaining control of their own life again.

As part of Deb’s journey in looking for creative and wise ways to help clients find resolutions, she is a trained collaborative attorney as well as a certified mediator with the NC Dispute Resolution Commission in both family financial matters and superior court matters. All this experience – litigation, negotiation, mediation, and collaboration – allows Deb to cast a wide web when working with clients to find creative solutions to issues.
