My practice predominantly focuses on family law and criminal defense and I pride myself on being efficient.  Your time and mine are valuable and I like to work a case as thoroughly as possible without wasting excessive time and money.. While many people view their job as just that, a job, my career is a passion, therefore, I teach at a local community college.  There, I try to pass on the importance of understanding how and why things are done, hoping to inspire others to make choices that will garner positive results.

I believe that marriage/relationships should end with the same dignity and respect that it started with. My goal for my practice is to help improve the divorce process for couples seeking to end their marriage in a manner that shall preserve their families and reduce conflict for their children. Although the romantic partnership has ended, parents need to be able to co-exist in order to raise healthy children who can manage conflict in a peaceful and productive manner. I believe the divorce mediation process is the least detrimental for families seeking to end their marriage. A public courtroom battle is not the appropriate forum to resolve your issues relating to custody, parenting times, property division and support. A confidential and private divorce/family mediation with a highly skilled divorce mediator will help expedite your divorce, while leaving a couple in control over financial and parenting decisions for their family in a cost effective manner.
