Professional Experience
- Associate Attorney
- Gosnell Law Firm
- - Current
- I practice all forms of family law, including but not limited to divorce, establishment and modification of conservatorship and support, adoption, and basic wills. I take cases in Hays, Travis, Caldwell, Comal, and Guadalupe County and operate on a sliding fee scale. I am on the CPS appointment lists for Travis and Hays County.
- Staff Attorney
- Just Help: Elkhart County Legal Advocacy Center
- -
- I was the sole domestic staff attorney at a non-profit that provides legal services on a reduced fee basis to the low-income residents of Elkhart County. I provided services in both English and Spanish, ranging from intake and initial consultations to trial or settlement. I represented clients in family law, landlord-tenant, and general civil litigation cases. I was also instrumental in developing a county-wide domestic violence referral program with area non-profits, women's shelters, private practice attorneys, and judges. I increased the caseload from 36 to well over 100 active cases and worked on more than 300 cases during my tenure.
