Summary

I have been a licensed Registered Nurse in West Virginia since 1975. Therefore, I am adept at developing positive rapport with healthcare clients. My years of patient care have also educated me on multiple healthcare issues and patient issues.

I am also an effective law professional with proven track record of successfully representing clients in court, developing legal strategies and drafting and negotiating contracts. As an attorney, I am licensed to practice in both West Virginia and Kentucky.
