Top best Divorce & Separation Lawyers in ZIP 92868 | 7 available

The law is my second profession.. Up until 2014, I worked as a classroom educator. While working  as a teacher I decided to pursue a law degree with an eye towards working with families in ways outside of the classroom.. I accepted a partial scholarship to Western State University College of Law. By the end of my program, I graduated 3rd in my class and I received two witkin awards for top student. I received these top honors while working 60 hours a week as a classroom educator. At that time my school, Los Alamitos Elementary, had some of the biggest gains in standardized test scores and was recognized as a state ranked 10/10 school.. I passed the bar the first time and opted to go from the classroom to the courthouse by running my own legal business.. My skills in organizing, collaboration, communication, and documentation carry over well to the practice of law.. Along with the practice of law, I have several hobbies including (1) social dancing West Coast Swing, Salsa, and Argentine Tango, (2) practicing t'ai chi and other martial arts, and (3) hiking and rock climbing.. I live for challenges, personal growth, and creativity.

I'm a divorce lawyer serving families across the region of Tustin and Orange County.  I am experienced in handling cases that involve child custody, spousal support, guardianship, and visitation.  I graduated from the Whittier School of Law and have been a lawyer for over 10 years.

I have practiced Family Law since 1981 and have limited my practice to Family Law exclusively since 1984.  Family Law matters cover dissolution of marriage (property division, custody and support orders), domestic partnership, domestic violence orders, palimony actions and step-parent adoptions. I also serve on the Family Law Panel of qualified minor’s counsel representing children by court appointment in custody disputes.. Because of my psychological education I am able to effectively litigate child custody matters involving court appointed psychologists with expertise.  When there are issues of property and support, I have the ability to be aggressive yet sensitive to my client’s emotional presence from settlement negotiations through litigation.  Whether it is crafting a prenuptial agreement, litigating property issues or developing custody orders, knowledge is power and pre-planning in the initial stages is always to one’s advantage.. If you considering entering into or ending any relationship you need advice from an experienced family law attorney.  Call for a consultation.
