I am a second career lawyer. Before attending law school I spent ten years serving in the military as an attack helicopter pilot.  I am a father and zealous advocate in family law cases.  The same integrity, honesty and dependability required to operate as an aviator, now exists to create a dynamic attorney-client relationship.

I understand, personally, the turmoil that divorce and child custody actions bring.  I have been through both, and empathize with my clients.  I understand their need to have a compasstionate attorney, who is dedicated to helping them understand the court process and devoted to helping them get the best resolution.
