What I stand for.I know it feels like we are living in a time where kindness and empathy is lost and where we don’t have a voice.
This is why I'm running. Together we can change that. This election is about you - your families, children, neighbors and friends. I have demonstrated through my activism and my legal career that I have the experience AND the heart. I have been a community leader and advocate in and out of the courtroom my entire adult life. I am the only practicing family law lawyer and child advocate. I want to be YOUR family law judge. |
Endorsements
My Promise to you.
You are more likely to appear to appear in a Family Court than any other Court. It can feel like a cold, confusing and dehumanizing process. I have been in the trenches with these very families this Court serves.
I understand how painful this process can be when it is drawn out.
I want to change that.
I promise that the families I fought for IN the Courtroom, I will protect as your Judge. I will take care of your family, like they are my own.
On that you have my word as a mom.

I promise that the families I fought for IN the Courtroom, I will protect as your Judge. I will take care of your family, like they are my own.
On that you have my word as a mom.
As an advocate I have been honored to sit on multiple boards during my career but I have realized that true change happens when we take the desire to make a positive difference, and turn it into action in our community.
Outside the courtroom, I have spoken up for our community at City Council. I was one of the organizers of Women’s March El Paso. I’ve been outspoken on immigrant rights, women’s rights, gun reform and LGBTQI rights in our community. Together we have fed our migrant community and put together care packages for orphans. We have worked together on multiple Rallies and Marches for progressive and social issues affecting our community. Most recently we came together in February 2019 attended by 9,000 El Pasoans in response to the racist rhetoric of the current administration as well as the El Paso Strong Rally in August of 2019 after 22 members of our community were murdered. |
As a ParentI am also the parent of three wonderful children I am raising to make a positive difference in our community.
And as a parent, I have sat in the courtroom myself, fighting for the best interests of my child. As a parent, I know what it's like to have worries and uncertainties keep you up at night. I understand the stress and struggles that you go through. I have been there with you, as a parent and as a lawyer. |
As your Family LawyerAs your lawyer, I have answered your emails at midnight because at that moment, during a divorce or a custody battle, you need that peace of mind.
As your lawyer, I understand, these are your kids, your grandchildren, your homes, your retirement, your savings - your everything. As your judge I will show you that same compassion and expertise. |

Why I am the best candidate?
I have been in solo practice for over 20 years with a focus on complex high conflict family law cases and child welfare cases.
As the only practicing family lawyer and child advocate, I have had the honor of representing thousands of clients including some of the most disenfranchised ones, parents and children caught in the child welfare system. These are families in the absolute crisis of being separated from the person or persons that matter most to them.
I am the only candidate that have unique position of understanding the heartbreaking impact of being separated from a parent.
I am the only candidate who is a child welfare law specialist. Lastly, I am the only one of the candidates to practice family law and only family law, unconstrained by Government bureaucracies or practicing other areas of the law.
