Top Best Child Custody Lawyers | 4185 Available

I grew up watching several of my own family members navigate the path of divorce and I witnessed how it affected and changed the trajectory of their lives. I believe the family unit is of the utmost importance, so I decided to become a family law attorney to help people get to the other side of divorce with peace and dignity. I practice solely in family law. This means all of my practice is devoted to working with families. I handle all types of family law cases including child custody, child support, divorce, alimony, domestic violence, equitable distribution, separation agreements, and mediation. I'm a problem solver at heart. And I believe that many cases can be settled through the mediation process. I'm also competitive and I won't give up easily. If your case cannot be resolved amicably I'm ready to go to trial for you.
