After practicing family law for the last half decade, I have learned a lot of things. The biggest takeaway is that each client's situation is unique, and a strategy that makes sense for one client, will not necessarily work well for another. Each family is unique, and getting the best possible outcomes for each case means listening to and understanding where my clients are coming from, and where they want to go. I am not afraid to practice outside the box, and use creative and bold legal arguments to get the results my clients are entitled to.
