About

Lynne has had a winding road to find the perfect career—being an Attorney and Mediator.

After graduating from TAMU (class of ’95), Lynne began her career in Public Relations, Advertising, and Marketing. She gave back through volunteer work which included running fundraising campaigns, Public Relations, and working with youth groups. A move to the Baltimore, Maryland area, introduced Lynne to the promising field of Mediation work. Inspired, Lynne returned to school earning a Masters in Conflict Resolution and Restoration from Abilene Christian University. While completing ACU’s hybrid program, Lynne also worked for the District Court of Maryland’s ADR Department.

Armed with a MA in Conflict Resolution, being credentialed in Texas for Civil and Family mediations, as well as certified for Civil mediation in Maryland, Lynne began her mediation career. To expand her knowledge base and mediation practice, she decided to earn a law degree. Always a Texan at heart, she desired to return to her home state for law school.

Lynne attended law school at the newly purchased Texas A&M University School of Law in Fort Worth, Texas.  While there, she was highly successful in multiple ABA ADR competitions, winning the National ABA Representation in Mediation competition. Since law school, Lynne has practiced law in multiple areas, including Family, Probate, Trade (export compliance), Business Litigation, Real Property, Trade Secrets, and Employment law.

As a wife, mother, entrepreneur, mediator, and attorney Lynne believes each and every day is filled with limitless possibilities.
