My goal is to continue practicing law for as long as I continue to enjoy it.  Some of my greatest pleasures are in counseling clients regarding their business and personal affairs where I often am able to solve important problems for clients.  In the event I do not have the expertise for solving their problems, most often I am able to guide them to one or more appropriate persons who can do so.. There is not a single label for my law practice.  My law practice consists of business transactions, tax planning and resolution of tax disputes, estate planning and probate.  In that context I prepare and review numerous contracts ranging from pre-nuptial agreements to real estate purchases and sales, business purchases and sales, financing, leases, franchise documents and others.  In both the business transaction context and in estate planning, I may form, restructure or dissolve entities, prepare trusts, wills, powers of attorney, and other business,  estate planning and tax planning documents.. Assisting clients in the administration of the estate of a deceased loved one often involves many areas of law including those noted above.  Likewise, assisting people with conservatorships and guardianships of people who have become disabled or unable to manage their own affairs is sometimes an appropriate or necessary undertaking.. Building long lasting professional relationships with clients has provided me with wonderful  personal and professional rewards

For the past 20 years I've practiced exclusively family law, spending 4-5 days a week in court settling matters whenever possible and otherwise going to hearing and prevailing on most all issues.  My approach is to be civil, kind and fair with opposing counsel and the parties at all times. I don't need to be aggressive or hostile to prevail in court.  I win with preparation, knowledge of the facts and law, passionate concern, superior intellect and courtoom skills developed over conducting hundreds if not thousands of hearings. I am the first attorney my colleagues ask for advise and the  last attorney my adversaries want to face inside the courtroom.. I stake my reputation on the opinions of my adversaries, judges, clerks, court reportsrs and deputies I have appeared before and who have watched me in their courtrooms day in and day out for two decades. I value my worth by my client's  satusfaction and gratitude for my dedicated service.. I've obtained sanctions awards of $100,000, $80,000 $67,000, and $50,000 against opposing parties whom I caught lying in court and frustrating the policy of promoting settlement while unnecessarily increasing the cost of litigation.. I have obtained hundreds if not thousands of clients shared custody rights and quality parenting time with their children.. I get darn near tearful with pride when I read my clients' testimonials.  It is their thanks for my hard work that makes it all worthwhile.
