Rianna worked in family law since 2015, representing clients across all aspects of family law. She focuses on achieving durable, client-centered resolutions through cooperative strategies whenever possible, and brings decisive, trial-tested advocacy when litigation is necessary. Her practice ranges from obtaining seven-figure settlements in mediation to litigating multi-day evidentiary hearings and trials. 

Rianna is an experienced mediator and is certified in Collaborative Divorce, allowing clients to resolve disputes privately, efficiently, and with minimized conflict. This dual perspective as a mediator and litigator enables her to identify leverage points early, streamline discovery, and position cases for successful settlement or trial. 

Rianna’s leadership in the family law community began early. Rianna earned her J.D. from Loyola Law School, where she served as President of the Children and Family Law Society. During law school, she worked in the school’s Alternative Dispute Resolution Center, mediating divorce and custody disputes. She also externed for the Honorable Richard Fruin, where she assisted the Court in complex property and business disputes.

Outside of her practice, Rianna enjoys camping trips with her husband and their rescue dog.
