My journey to becoming a lawyer and advocate for families was anything but straightforward. It began with a deep desire to help others, leading me to a career in social work where I spent nearly a decade immersed in the complexities of the human experience. I witnessed firsthand the struggles individuals and families faced, and I knew I wanted to do more to empower them.. That calling led me to law school and then to a career as a legal aid attorney. I represented countless people in emotionally charged divorce, family, and order of protection cases. The weight of those experiences, particularly the prevalence of domestic violence, stayed with me.. Then, life took an unexpected turn. I went through my own divorce, a process that shook me to my core. Despite my legal training, I found myself trapped in a contentious battle that left my family wounded and my co-parent and me unable to effectively work together. The adversarial system, designed to protect, had instead caused immense harm.. That's when I made a promise to myself – to help others avoid the same trauma and outcome. I sought extensive training in mediation and collaborative divorce, determined to offer a different path. These approaches, focused on cooperation and mutual respect, resonated deeply with my values.. Today, I find immense fulfillment in guiding families through separation and divorce with compassion and understanding. Whether it's through mediation, collaborative law, or when necessary, litigation, my priority is to empower my clients to make informed decisions that protect their well-being and their future.. My commitment to helping others extends beyond family law. My experience with disability issues fuels my passion for creating comprehensive estate plans, particularly for families with special needs. This work is deeply personal to me. Having witnessed the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and their families, I understand the importance of careful planning to ensure their security and well-being. I'm dedicated to crafting estate plans that provide for their unique needs and protect their future.

My greatest joy as a lawyer is for the opportunity to help people and provide a balance to the powers the insurance companies exert to try to tilt the process in their own favor.. My aim is to explain each step to you along the way, and to take care of everything so that you can concentrate on getting better.  I'll give you guidance and counsel to help you recover from the injuries you've sustained and to level the playing field against the insurance megastructure that has only one goal in mind, and that is to come out ahead in the claim.  I won't permit that; it won't happen here.. Call me for a free review of your claim and see if we're right for each other.

My goal as a lawyer is to provide the best possible representation to inviduals.  I do not employ any single approach to accomplish this.  Instead, I hope to use a creative approach unique to each case.
