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.. --.

Why do I practice family law? In short, because it matters. It matters to my clients to know that their attorney is dedicated to their cause, is a fierce advocate of their rights, is a skillful negotiator of their positions, a persuasive litigator of their case, and a seasoned practitioner of family law. It matters to my clients to know that their attorney “gets it;” not just the law, the issues, the judges, and opposing counsel, but understands them; that they are going through one of the most difficult and emotional turmoils in their life. It matters to my clients to know these things, and therefore, the effective practice of family law matters to me.. _______________________________.
