On Monday my client was released from jail (charge On Monday my client was released from jail (charges dismissed) after years of fighting! My middle daughter @_lovely__lyssa_ was right there with me as I stood outside of the jail waiting for him to exit! She was right there with me when I took him to be reunited with his mother and two children (he had not seen them in 10 years). She was right there...

I don’t talk about my life as a litigator much. It has been an all consuming part of my life for 21 years. I would describe my career as my 4th child that requires a lot of attention. So, when I see my daughter recognize and appreciate the work that I do I get extremely emotional (code for I am crying 😊). 
I have missed a lot of opportunities to be present in my daughters’ lives because of my demanding career but in the midst of all of the chaos and craziness I have tried to make sure they know that this journey would be nothing without them. 

Much Love to @_lovely__lyssa_ @sierrasybarite @afnf_.gabby for sharing me with all of my clients and understanding my passion for advocacy.

Your mom loves you❤️❤️❤️.

OMG I cannot forget my mom @delthemaallen.
She has ALWAYS been there to fill in the gaps! ❤️❤️❤️

My 20-30 year old self was on a mission to prove t My 20-30 year old self was on a mission to prove that I was “miss independent”. There was nothing that made me prouder  than when people admired my independence and ability to juggle and get it all done.

At some point I realized I was sending the wrong message to the world, and, as a result, I was blocking my ability to receive what I needed which was a strong partner to share this journey with.
 
Sure I am still an incredibly independent person. I simply realize independence and a desire for companionship do not have to be mutually exclusive.

I look forward to the day I find the person to enjoy this ride with me.
