I care about my clients and their lives. In my career, I have worked with thousands of people from many walks of life facing many different challenges. I realize that going through a divorce, caring for children, or fighting for what you think is right can be one of the most challenging, frustrating, and difficult times of your life—on many levels. As a client, I ask you to think hard about your case, to do what you can to improve your situation and your case, because I am willing to work hard for you, to chart a course together with you to achieve your objectives.

I believe in going to court with a solution, not a problem.  What I do in my practice is try to understand why my clients got into trouble and determine how I can make a difference in their future.  Properly preparing a client and their case before court is the most important job I have;  it can make a difference in the success of their case.

I am very aware of the emotional toll and strain caused by an inability to keep up with house payments, credit card payments, and other financial obligations. I try to listen to my clients patiently, return calls promptly, and help them achieve their objectives in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. After an initial meeting with a client, I make recommendations regarding the best way to deal with that client’s particular situation.

Everyone should be able to afford justice. As a teacher for disadvantaged teens in Baltimore, it was clear to me that the lack of affordable legal representation is a problem for so many who seek a fair outcome in court. Making sure that everyone’s rights are honored, regardless of income, has always been my goal as an attorney. Starting with my work as a law student with University of Maryland’s JustAdvice Clinic, to volunteering with Legal Aid, to fighting for the rights of victims as an attorney for the nonprofit, SALI (Sexual Assault Legal Institute), I have represented clients in a variety of legal matters. Divorce, custody, peace/protective orders, immigration, housing, crime victim representation, employment law, and Title IX cases, are just some of the areas where I have successfully stood for my clients in court.. Over the years, it became obvious to me that non-profits cannot possibly fill the growing need for attorneys for those whose income is above the income and case-type thresholds for “free” help. If you need a qualified lawyer who will represent you at a price that the fancy, high-overhead firms can’t match, you are the person that I had in mind when I built this practice.. You don’t have to fight the system alone.
