She has helped Hoosiers of all kinds of families, occupations and situations—students, tradespeople, stay-at-home parents, military veterans, people with disabilities, professionals, executives and business owners—navigate major changes in their families and lives.

The legal services Anne provides include:

  • Prenuptial agreements
  • Divorce
  • Establishing child custody and visitation

She’s a leader in family law in Northeast Indiana, active in local bar associations’ sections on family law, domestic relations and alternative dispute resolution.

In her role as a domestic relations and family law mediator, Anne said, “I assist the parties in negotiating the issues that they bring to me, with the goal of reaching an agreement that is acceptable to all parties involved. This process leaves the decision-making to the parties, rather than allowing a judge to decide the outcome.”
