Her academic work and her legal education were completed at the University of South Carolina: a Bachelor of Arts, a Master’s Degree, a Doctor of Philosophy, and a Juris Doctor. The doctoral degree is an academic degree. It is listed here as a credential. It does not mean that she practices medicine, and it is not a claim of certified legal specialization.

The practice is limited, as a matter of the work she accepts, to family law: separation, divorce, spousal support, property division, child custody, child support, and the enforcement of Family Court orders.

The work
Family Court matters, taken as they stand
Cases in this court are decided on the evidence, the statutes, and the discretion of the judge assigned to the file. The office does not advertise results, compare itself with other lawyers, or publish testimonials. South Carolina Rule 7.1 forbids or tightly limits those forms of speech.
A first conversation establishes the posture of the matter, the papers already on file, and whether the firm can accept the representation.
