Thank you for considering me to be your help in a time of need.  This is about you, not me.  When we sit down together for our first appointment I will ask you three questions.  First, what problem brought you to me.  Second, what are your concerns, fears, or worries about this problem.  Lastly, what would you like to see as the outcome to this problem?  With those answers we create a plan.  We set goals.  When you hire me, you should leave the meeting with a clear plan for what is likely to happen, what could happen, and how we get there.  A roadmap.. My practice helps solve problems that are immediate and that can have disastrous consequences.  I focus on the result.  What is it you want to see happen?  What is it that you fear will happen?  How can we get to that point.  That's what I do.. If that's how you want to do business, call me.  I look forward to working with you.

I concentrate my practice on Family Law and the issues that have led to the break down of a family including divorce, child custody, parenting plans, support, alimony, restraining orders and premarital agreements. With my experience, knowledge and creativity, I advocate for my client’s interest in ways that rebuild family stability and financial strength after a divorce or separation.. I am in a unique position to advocate for you because I am experienced in so many tools which you can use to bring a resolution to your conflict.  I have extensive education in collaborative divorce and mediation. These are negotiation models that avoid the use of the court.  If necessary, I am also an experienced litigator who has conducted trials for nearly twenty years in the local state courts and therefore, I am knowledgeable of the decisions of the area judges. Having all these options to resolve your case gives you much more control over the outcome.. The impact of a divorce on a family often requires a comprehensive financial plan as part of rebuilding of your future.  Since this is a multidisciplinary firm, I practice with 5 highly knowledgeable attorneys, each with a different area of focus. If your divorce necessitates the purchase or sale of house, a bankruptcy, or a new estate plan, we can draw on the experience of my partners to ensure that you are provided professional advice. If helpful, we can also call upon the several financial advisors and accountants with whom I work, specifically trained in the effects of divorce to create an even more comprehensive and individualized plan all with one goal in mind; to construct your new future recognizing the objectives that you have established.. I also take a team approach when necessary to creating a parenting schedule that meets the needs of you and your children. I work with child experts, psychologists and guardian ad litems to ensure that your children’s best interests are always kept in the forefront of any case. By being proactive in establishing your parenting plan early in your case, I find that the likelihood of going to trial is vastly reduced and leaves the decisions about your children exactly where they should stay; with the parents..
