While I wasn't born in Spokane, my mother was and I grew up here from the age of 3 months. I attended Hutton Grade School, Sacajawea Junior High and graduated from Lewis and Clark High School in 1979. I was married and had three wonderful daughters. I worked for 7 years at Holy Family Hospital before going back to school to complete my education. I graduated from SC in 1993, Eastern Washington University in 1995 and the University of Washington School of Law in 1998. I have practiced law with an emphasis on Family Law since 1998, the first 5 years working with my father and since 2003 at Maxey Law Offices, P.S. My daughters are grown and married now. I have six amazing grandchildren and hope to have more. I am active in my Church Parish. I own two dogs and long term lease on a cat. I enjoy reading, bike riding, gardening, and spending time with friends and family but my very favorite thing to do is hang out with my grandkids. I translate my focus on family into my work by helping my clients through the tough emotional and financial times that often accompanies family law issues.
