EDUCATION & TRAINING. I earned my law degree from Stanford Law School in 1989, after graduating magna cum laude from Amherst College in 1983.  I am licensed to practice law in Maryland, the District of Columbia and California. I am active in state and local bar associations, am a member of numerous organizations devoted to alternative conflict resolution, and am an avid consumer of continuing legal education programs.  In recent years, I have received extensive additional training in mediation (90+ hours), collaborative law (30+ hours), parenting coordination (40+ hours) and parent education and Adlerian family dynamics (144+ hours).. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE. My professional career began in 1983 as a Correctional Ombudsman in the Connecticut prison system, where I investigated and resolved inmate complaints against the correctional department.  After graduating law school, I joined the litigation department of Washington D.C. law firm Swidler & Berlin, where I handled complex civil and constitutional cases.  After serving as an adjunct professor at Georgetown Law School, I opened my own practice in 1995.  I stumbled into family law accidentally, handling my first divorce case for a friend in 1997.  Having found my calling, I have focused exclusively on family matters ever since.  Over the years, my practice has evolved from a conventional litigation-based practice to a negotiation-based practice in which I can focus on allaying conflict and solving problems.

After leaving my position as an Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia over twenty-seven years ago, I focused my legal practice on defending nursing home providers in malpractice lawsuits here in the D.C. area and across the country.  In doing so, I learned in great detail not only how those cases are prosecuted and defended, but also how plaintiff's counsel and providers evaluate them for settlement purposes.  My extensive experience in defending nursing home cases proved to be one of my strongest assets once I began representing plaintiffs in those cases, as I now routinely do.. My goal in litigating any case is to evaluate it as quickly as possible in order to determine whether it can be resolved early on in a manner that makes sense for both sides.  This approach promotes closure for all parties and reduces the often wasteful and unnecessary fees and costs involved in protracted litigation.  If early resolution of a case is not possible, I welcome the opportunity to try it to verdict before a jury or arbitration panel.  My most recent nursing home jury trial resulted in a satisfactory settlement for my client just prior to the closing arguments.  My most recent nursing home arbitration resulted in an award totally in my client's favor after opposing counsel steadfastly refused to engage in meaningful settlement discussions.. Given my strong belief in the benefits of early dispute resolution, I have completed the arbitration and mediation training programs sponsored by the American Health Lawyer's Association ("AHLA").  I served as an arbitrator in a Florida nursing home dispute this past spring and look forward to doing so again this fall.. Before I went to law school, I worked as house painter, a laborer on gas pipelines and concrete crews, a carpenter, and a roughneck on an oil rig.  I believe that that  background, together with my educational and professional experience, has helped me to appreciate and relate to clients and jurors from all walks of life.. Picking the right lawyer to represent you in a significant lawsuit may be one of the most important decisions that you will ever have to make.  For that reason, you should take the time to get to know your prospective counsel and to make sure that he or she is the best fit for you.  In order to assist you in that process, I offer free legal consultations.  Please do not hestitate to contact me at your convenience should you wish to discuss your case with me.
