US Supreme Court Justice Burger advised lawyers to be “Healers of Conflict”. We agree. 98% of our clients surveyed (over a 2 year period) report they would recommend us to a friend or use the firm again. We have helped people in more than 1 thousand cases. We would like the opportunity to help you. Our job is to help you to “heal” conflicts as productively, as cheaply and as quickly as possible, not to promote them or provoke them. Having studied conflict resolution theory since the 1970’s we work with you to better understand how the legal system can be used, along with other “alternative dispute resolution” strategies, to resolve the conflicts or problems that led you to seek assistance.

My practice focuses on all areas of family law including dissolutions of marriages, legal separations, child custody and parenting plans, relocation, spousal maintenance, child support and complex property division.. Complex family law matters require an understanding of both the legal issues and the emotional toll involved and I approach my practice with this in mind. Each case is unique and I take the time necessary to ensure that each client's concern is heard and addressed head-on. It is critical that my client’s understand the law and its implications for their case.  I pride myself on resolving difficult legal matters on behalf of my clients through effective negotiation or direct advocacy.

As an attorney practicing in a highly stressful and emotional area of the law, having a healthy balance between work and home life is crucial to bringing my best self to both worlds.  I enjoy time at the beach with my family and socializing with friends.  Volunteering at my childrens' schools helps me keep perspective on what we hold dear.
