I believe in respectful and goal oriented negotiations and have therefore elected to focus my practice on mediation and collaborative law. I have almost 40 years of experience as a family law attorney and have been an active mediator and  collaborative attorney for over 23 years. I see the positive results of a mediation and collaborative divorces versus the negative ones in the litigated divorce, reminding me of the benefits to the spouses and children that mediation and  collaboration provides..
