Hello, my name is Chris and I absolutely love working at Hunking Law and helping people resolve problems. The stress that comes from a criminal case can be overwhelming to some, but with sound legal advice and options (and a little hand-holding), I feel like our firm really helps people in some of their most difficult times.

Originally from the Midwest, I have lived west of Eugene for over 20 years. I am the mother of two boys who are almost grown. We love country living and raising our flock of chickens. We like camping, swimming, golfing and lots of friends and festivals.
