Top Best Divorce Lawyers | 8526 Available

I continue to practice family law because I truly care about families who find themselves facing divorce.  By combining a thorough understanding of the law with zealous advocacy and common sense I hope to bring some order to an otherwise chaotic and scary set of circumstances for my clients. With over 20 years of experience I have likley handled any siutation that might arise in your case. I am not a "jack of all trades": my practice has exclusivey been focused on family law as I have represented men and women across New Jersey.

Partner, Wisselman Harounian Family Law, well respected family law firm since 1976. I offer free consultations.. Compromise does not necessarily equate to surrender.  All too frequently, I have to remind clients that compromising on an issue means giving in a little on some issues to gain a little on others.  The negotiation process is a dance of give and take and should result in a final agreement that is acceptable to both parties, each having compromised on issues less important to them to gain on the more important issues.  As a matrimonial and family law attorney, I believe this is the most effective way to guide my clients through a very troublesome time in their life in order that they can more quickly put it behind them.. On the other hand, some cases can't be settled, sometimes because of the difficulty in reaching a compromise, or for other reasons.  Nothing can take the place of a tough litigator fighting for your rights.

Because of her training, she is more proficient in negotiating fair settlements for her clients.

I have over 20 years of experience in family law and represented a countless number of clients on both sides of Washington state, who face issues of divorce, parenting and financial issues.

I grew up a few miles outside of Gainesville, Florida and graduated from the University of Florida in 2002. While attending the university, I worked at the Kirkpatrick Center, Gainesville's police academy. My father was a police officer for 40 years so I was a good fit for work at the academy. I continued with the police academy after graduation for several years until I entered law school, attending the University of Tulsa.. Since becoming an attorney, I have exclusively practiced family law in the Tampa Bay Area since 2009. In 2013, my husband, Joe Cairns, also a family law attorney, and I opened up our own family law practice in Largo.. I strive to help my clients obtain the best resolution for their family and their family's needs. It is a primary goal of mine to help my clients settle all their matters before allowing a judge to decide what to do with their children and their money. However, if my clients have to go to trial because settlement is no longer an option, then we go to trial. Litigation is expensive and long so it is always my goal to help my clients through this emotional process.. I also serve as a Guardian Ad Litem in Pinellas County for both dependency court and family court matters helping children through their parents' divorce and parenting issues.

I enjoy interacting with people, and helping them resolve their disputes.  My values include:. :. Concern and capacity for each individual in light of their particular circumstances;. Civility and respect to lawyers and non-lawyers;. My reputation is aggressive, understanding and effective advocacy.  I believe in working hard to achieve the best settlment possible through negotiation and mediation but when that is not possible to aggressively advocate for my clients in court.
