I have a pragmatic and realistic approach toward law the practice of law.  Too often the law is used as a weapon and not as a tool.  I strongly believe that people can come through a divorce without having to have rolled in the mud. I earnestly seek to help the parties cooperate to achieve a better outcome than they would have otherwise have achieved through conflict alone.  However, there are times that it becomes necessary to stand up for what is right.  My clients are no one’s doormats. I believe that Fathers and Mothers have a right to be treated with respect and that through everything the children should come first.. --.
