Early in my career I served as a judicial  law clerk for the Chief Judge of the United States District Court (federal court) in New Jersey.. My enire practice has been focussed on litigation - for personal injury matters and for divorce matters.. I was a certified trial attorney in New Jersey for over 25 yeasrs- something only about 5% of the lawyers in the state achieve.. In addition to my law practice, i have had a career of public service. I was a councilman in mount Laurel township for three years, Mayor for one year and a planning board member for two years.. I have also been involved with the youth of my community. i coached baseball for over seven years and was the director of the entire baseball program for two years. As director, i rzn a program with over 70 coaches, forty team and about 500 youngsters.. I have been teaching other lawyers how to be good trial lawyers for over ten years.  i have taught in NJ, CO, IL and NM.  I am also an adjunct professor at the Rutgers School of Law.. I have been fortunate to argue a number of cases in the appellate courts in New Jersey, including the New Jersey supreme Court.. I have been published in the family law area and have recently produced a guide to the new alimony law.

Before I begin to tell you about my academic awards and achievements, I want to take a moment to tell you that I've stood in your shoes.  I truly appreciate how intimidating the legal process can be to clients who are fighting to protect their interests, and those of their children.  As a witness to domestic violence and the child of a broken home, I know all too well the emotional and physical journey to create a new vision for your life.. I was drawn into Family law because of my own personal circumstances. My three month old nephew was placed up for adoption without my brother's consent.  He was placed with a family in Canada before we even knew he was missing.  My entire family was devastated and didn't have a clue about what to do next.  As the only attorney in the family, everyone looked to me for answers.  I had never touched a family law case before except for a clinic in law school.  This time, there was so much at stake.  Needless to say, I was scared to lose him and knew I had to do whatever I could.  I started in Family Court in NY and worked my way to Canada to pick him up almost three months later!  Although, it was probably the scariest thing I have every done, it was by far the most rewarding.  This helped me realize that my potential is so much greater than my fears.  Every time I look at my nephew, I am reminded at how blessed I am to have been able to earn a law degree to help others.. This personal story of triumph is what fuels my passion to be a compassionate legal advocate. One who strives for a holistic solution to the situation, rather than just a legal one.. Before starting my own firm in 2009, I served as a prosecutor in Pennsylvania and a law guardian (children’s attorney) in New Jersey. I am admitted to practice law in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. The first in my family to complete college, I am a proud graduate of Columbia University and Temple Law School.. As the founder of a thriving law practice, a wife, and a mother of two wonderful children, I know the importance my own wellbeing plays in having a healthy family and successful business.  I am certified in Reiki and practice Bikram (Hot) Yoga.

As a divorced mother of two, I'm passionate about getting others through their family issues in the most positive and economically advantageous way possible.  There is more than one way to divorce and the process is not one size fits all. In all family matters, lawyers need to consider the client's emotions, the personalities of the parties, the needs of the children and the assets involved in determining how to proceed.  Every case is unique, and the cost involved needs to be justified by the potential outcome. Going through my own divorce gave me a unique perspective that allows me to be compassionate and truly understand the need to fight for my clients who can't fight for themselves. I believe that this compassion and understanding is just as important as my 20 years of legal experience. I'm grateful to be in a profession where I can connect with people in such a meaningful way and help them in their time of need.
