Despite being a divorce lawyer, I do not like it when people get divorced. What I do like is that I offer couples a better way to divorce when it is their only option. After a successful career in civil litigation, I learned quickly that most families do not belong in a courtroom. As a result, I have worked hard over the years to become a skilled Collaborative Divorce attorney. Collaborative Divorce is a specialized legal process that keeps divorcing couples and their children out of the courtroom. It requires attorneys with special settlement training. Through training and now years of experience handling Collaborative Divorce cases, I am proud to have been recognized as a Credentialed Collaborative Attorney by Collaborative Divorce Texas. My goal is to always use those skills to help my clients divorce as quickly and painlessly as possible and without the public setting of a courtroom.

Almost thirty years of family law litigation provides me a solid foundation of experience to represent clients in all family law cases. From a divorce with no children and limited property to a high conflict child custody case with complex property divisions, I have the knowledge to manage all cases with a direct straight forward approach.

During my years of practice, I spent eighteen years also working on commercial/business and construction litigation cases which provide me a strong perspective in managing complex property issues. I believe in clear direct communication with clients so my clients can make the best decisions for their futures.

After nearly two decades of working as a healthcare professional and running multiple dental practices, I was faced with the difficult decision of giving up that profession and my way of life because of an unavoidable surgery. I learned the importance of a living will, a Trust, and a Power of Attorney first-hand when I suddenly grappled with the possibility of never returning home to my loved ones.. Besides the support of my family and friends, my recovery and successful transition to the practice of law was a result of meticulous planning and guidance by expert professionals that gave me the peace of mind to let me focus on my future. My goal as your legal counsel is to be one of those expert professionals for you. I know what it is like to trust a surgeon and a hospital with my life.. As a mother, I understand the need of a parent to protect their children from emotional uncertainties and financial insecurity. As a daughter who sees her parents face the challenges of getting older, I am sensitive to the needs of seniors in our society-the reason I chose to include Elder Law and Guardianship in my practice.. Finally, as an entrepreneur and a business owner for over twenty years (and still going), I appreciate how small legal issues, if ignored, can snowball into calamities that can threaten to destroy all you have built with your hard work. I would like to ensure that the decisions you make today will set your mind at ease regardless of what tomorrow brings.. I am the attorney you can call with complete confidence, knowing that a caring counselor who understands your needs will answer your questions, and help resolve your problems. I am here to help, and just a phone call away.
