Emily joined Drama-Free Divorce in early 2024. She has been practicing law for over a decade, beginning her career as a Guardian ad Litem in Jackson County, working with abused and neglected children and fighting for their best interests. She then worked for a national firm, representing clients in dissolutions, paternity actions and other family law matters before starting her own firm. Emily is licensed in Missouri and Kansas.
Emily has resided in Missouri and Kansas her whole life, growing up in rural Missouri and moving to Kansas during law school. She attended Truman State University, receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Communication (minoring in Political Science), then the University of Missouri—Kansas City School of Law for her JD.
In her spare time (which is little due to having two children who are involved in all the activities they possibly could be in), Emily enjoys reading, volunteering (at her children's schools and on the Friends of the Johnson County Library board), attending festivals around the KC area and baking delicious treats for her side baking business.
