Growing up, I saw my dad create financial freedom for our family by building multiple businesses from scratch.
He taught me the power entrepreneurship has to change lives for the better. Like the time I locked myself out of the house in the middle of the day. My friends’ parents were at work, but all it took for me was one phone call: “Dad, I’m locked out. Can you come get me?”
My mom was a volunteer gal. I remember as a teen being in awe of her unending willingness to support our community. She helped children’s groups, volunteered at church, and was the nationwide director for a faith-based program for girls. She taught me to have a servant heart and the importance of leading from the front.
These are the values I try to instill in everything we do here at Bounds Law LLC.
People often ask me
“What inspired you to leave your cushy corporate “big law” job and start your own firm?”
Here’s a little sneak peek of my story.
As a 4th generation entrepreneur
I have always wanted my own business. But I wasn’t blind to the challenges owners face.
It was my Dad who showed me first-hand how to be a business owner. You see, he did well and I learned so much from him… But I also saw him struggle. He struggled to see the value in hiring an attorney or getting his ducks in a row. His struggles would later inspire me as an attorney to help small business owners with my Legalfluence Map Out Meetings.
But before that – my career journey has been anything but traditional.
In 2012, I decided to go back to school for a third degree in law and start my third career, after working as a Television News Reporter and an IRS employee.
Out of law school, I dove head on into litigation and trial work. Much of my time early on was spent defending small businesses for a medium-sized law firm. There I saw first-hand that failure to plan ahead can make defending your small business from a lawsuit nearly impossible.
Following what everyone around me said was the “right choice”, I then joined a large AMLaw 200 nationwide law firm in 2018 where I primarily worked complex commercial litigation and bad faith/insurance coverage disputes for large corporations and insurance companies. This was nothing short of soul-sucking for me though.
Then 2020 COVID happened….
Courts were shut down. Litigation and trials just… stopped. And my “Big Law” work was at a standstill.
But something miraculous occurred – friends started approaching me looking for legal help to start
(or grow) their new business.
Since I was not busy with my litigation/trial practice, I started helping small businesses form strong legal foundations, getting their contracts and legal documents prepared, and, essentially, becoming their “outside” in-house counsel, partnering with them throughout each stage of their business.
Doing this work was fulfilling and meaningful and I suddenly realized that I LOVE small business law.
I had found my calling.
My entrepreneurial spirit came alive!
I was determined to serve my clients differently than I had seen before.
My background made it easy to provide holistic legal services to my clients. Too many times in my big corporate job, I saw attorneys treat their clients like just a transaction; one and done. I wanted something more for the friends who became my first few clients. Nothing was transactional and I believe it never should be.
Today, I take my hard-earned experience defending multi-million dollar trials and working as both in-house and outside counsel to some of the largest companies in the world and translate that into innovative, holistic legal services.
It became my mission to change the soulless legal profession of law into one that will positively impact my KC community and beyond.

In 2023 I also launched Bound for Destiny Consulting.
I paired my prior legal experience with my AASBC Small Business Consulting Certificate. With Bound for Destiny Consulting, I empower new and emerging female small business owners across the country with holistic and exceptional consulting services that focus on increased profits and a clear plan to scale.
