I was a Magistrate for Judge Keith M. Spaeth for over 13 years in Butler County Common Pleas. I presided over several jury trials and numerous Bench Trials. Some of the high profile criminal cases that I worked on include Tonya Ansley who plead NGRI for the murder of a Miami University Professor, Tom West who was also an NGRI for a shooting rampage at a West Chester Trucking Company, Dr. Mark Blankenburg who was tried and convicted of numerous sex offenses in front of Judge Spaeth. I was responsible for research and writing countless decisions which ranged from personal injury to medical malpractice. I joined the law firm of Robinson, Lipnickey & Jones Co., LPA in January of 2014 to expand my legal career in the private sector. I handle criminal cases, probate issues, personal injury, corporation, juvenile issues and litigation. When I am not working, I am the typical "soccer mom" for my two young children. I have been married for over 17 years to my wonderful husband who likes to remind me that I have been married to him for almost half my life.
