I am a father of two children who knows what if feels like to go through a divorce with children.  Having been through it myself, I provide an experienced and reality-based perspective to my clients that are going through a difficult family law matter, which differentiates me from other family law attorneys.  I have a great deal of experience in negotiating reasonable agreements under trying and stressful circumstances, and an understanding of the law.  My skills and life experiences are a major advantage in dealing with family law cases, especially divorce and child custody matters.  My financial background is also helpful in working through the division of marital estates and the development and litigation of appropriate child support and spousal maintenance solutions.  With a combination of life experience and an understanding of the law, I provide an in-depth representation for those who need help getting through their family law matter.
