For the past 20 years I've practiced exclusively family law, spending 4-5 days a week in court settling matters whenever possible and otherwise going to hearing and prevailing on most all issues.  My approach is to be civil, kind and fair with opposing counsel and the parties at all times. I don't need to be aggressive or hostile to prevail in court.  I win with preparation, knowledge of the facts and law, passionate concern, superior intellect and courtoom skills developed over conducting hundreds if not thousands of hearings. I am the first attorney my colleagues ask for advise and the  last attorney my adversaries want to face inside the courtroom.. I stake my reputation on the opinions of my adversaries, judges, clerks, court reportsrs and deputies I have appeared before and who have watched me in their courtrooms day in and day out for two decades. I value my worth by my client's  satusfaction and gratitude for my dedicated service.. I've obtained sanctions awards of $100,000, $80,000 $67,000, and $50,000 against opposing parties whom I caught lying in court and frustrating the policy of promoting settlement while unnecessarily increasing the cost of litigation.. I have obtained hundreds if not thousands of clients shared custody rights and quality parenting time with their children.. I get darn near tearful with pride when I read my clients' testimonials.  It is their thanks for my hard work that makes it all worthwhile.
