I founded Utah Divorce Advocate to create a law practice that provides a unique service that actually helps and benefits clients.
I chose to base my firm on the Certified Divorce Financial Analyst because CDFA services meld all of my prior work experience into a tool for helping people. Moreover, I have nightmares of clients who made poor financial choices during their divorce, either self-prepared or with other counsel, and later asked me to help repair the damage. Usually, all I could tell them is the damage was irreparable. I have a goal to prevent such errors from ever happening in the future.
I bring an eclectic mix of experience to bear when serving clients. I am both a certified public accountant and an attorney. I have audited income taxes, managed trust funds, and regulated various licensed professions and occupations.
As a CPA, I have over 20 years of experience assisting clients with tax planning to minimize liability in income taxes and estate planning. Before founding this firm, I worked for a small, 3-professional firm where I handled family law cases as needed, and I performed all research into complex family law questions.
My education includes a Master of Accountancy—Financial Accounting and Auditing from the Marriott School of Management at Brigham Young University and a Juris Doctor from the S.J. Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah.
When not helping people with divorce finances, I can be found operating Living Solutions for Seniors, an elder living placement service. During my free time, I enjoy reading (my tastes range from St. Augustine to Tolkien to Douglas Adams), cooking (mostly Mexican), and xeric gardening.
