"I'm not the lawyer who is going to tell you what you want to hear. I'm the lawyer who is going to tell you what you need to hear, and what to do to get the results you want."
Valerie puts her experience as a divorced parent first and foremost in her practice. She has been a co-parent for longer than she's been an attorney, and has seen the impact litigation can have on both her own children and those of her clients. She is passionate that kids come first, and their parents should prioritize them over their own selfish desires.
She will take the time to explain the why, and how of your case. She will also show you the weaknesses in your case and discuss the impact each could have on you and your child/children.
Valerie's personal philosophy is that her client should be in the best strategic position possible to achieve their objectives and reach the best outcome possible for their child or children.
Valerie began practicing law in April 2011. She has experience in family law matters, guardian ad litem work, criminal defense, guardianships, probates and juvenile law. Valerie is also licensed to practice in the Osage Nation and Pawnee Nation tribal courts.
Valerie enjoys spending her time away from the office with her family, friends, cats and Missouri Foxtrotter horses.
