Top Best Family Lawyers | 17773 Available

I've spent years developing my negotiating, litigating, and defense skills so I can fight for my clients' rights. With years of experience winning both in the court room and out, I can help you determine your legal needs and develop a winning strategy.My law career began in the prosecutor's office in the largest county in New Jersey while still in law school. I then spent several years as a successful criminal defense attorney with the Commonwealth of Kentucky where I handled thousands of cases. I can bring to client representation the experience of having won on both sides of the aisle in the court room.I also spent time with a multi-state civil/personal-injury law firm as a department supervising attorney, where I not only successfully pursed settlements for our clients, I was responsible for evaluating thousands of potential civil suits for prospective clients.I have the experience to help you understand your legal situation, identify your rights, and develop a winning plan to achieve your goals.

I have a passion for family law, and I now devote my practice exclusively to domestic relations issues. My experience in mediation, settlement negotiations, and litigation allows me to provide my clients with an array of options to resolve their legal issues. I practice in Hamilton, Butler, Clermont, and Warren counties in Ohio.. My relationships with my clients are very important to me, and my goal is to build a foundation of trust between us. I understand that my clients are often going through the most difficult time of their lives when they come to me. I am committed to fully listening to my clients and assessing their entire situation. I will provide honest and comprehensive advice, so that my clients can evaluate their options and make the decisions that are right for their families. Many times, it is best to reach a resolution outside of court, so that the parties can create their own agreement. But if settlement is not an option, I am prepared to advocate for my clients in the courtroom.

What I truly love about practicing family law is that you, your life, your reality, and your emotions are front and center.  I specialize in respectful, out of court resolutions because the transition of divorce or separation is a time to sort out the things that really matter in your life and for your future, rather than simply focusing on the short-term requirements of a legal divorce. I am passionate about helping you do this.. I offer several services: collaborative law, divorce mediation, and a variety of options to help with uncontested or DIY divorces.. Collaborative Law. Collaborative divorce is an out-of-court, non-adversarial resolution method. Here, you and your spouse work through a specific, interest-based decision making process together in a series of private, safe, joint meetings. Each of you receives guidance and advice from your own attorney, who is specially trained in this process. You may also choose to incorporate other professionals in the process to support you and your family through the transition (e.g., a child specialist, divorce coach, or financial professional). This approach allows you to retain a high-degree of privacy and control over the timeline of your separation, since it is designed to keep you entirely out of the court system until it's time to file your final, agreed-upon judgment. It also allows for creative and well-informed problem-solving.. Divorce Mediation. Divorce mediation is an informal negotiation between you and your spouse, facilitated by a neutral third party specially trained in helping couples respectfully discuss the issues to be decided. You and your spouse retain all decision making authority. The mediator can offer suggestions, but can not "tell you what you should do" or settle disagreements. Because the mediator is neutral and does not represent you or your spouse, the mediator can not give either of you legal advice. Divorce mediation can happen at any time during the divorce process and can be used in a variety of ways to help you resolve some or all of the issues to be decided.. DIY Divorce / Limied or Unbundled Services. Many people are wary of the cost and emotional harm associated with traditional litigation. Others simply wish to avoid retaining attorneys for financial or other reasons. While it makes sense for almost everyone to have some guidance from an attorney while completing a divorce, there are a number of ways to do this with limited involvement of legal professionals.. Uncontested Divorce - When both you and your spouse wish to divorce (or one of you does and the other at least accepts it and is willing to sign divorce papers), one of you can hire an attorney on a limited basis to help you complete the process, and prepare and file the documents with the court.. Kitchen Table Settlement - If you and your spouse are willing and able to work out the details on your own ("around the kitchen table"), you can hire an attorney on a limited basis to review your agreement, make sure you haven't overlooked anything, and if you wish, prepare and file the necessary documents with the court.. Divorce Consulting - This can encompass a variety of things. If you are representing yourself when your spouse has an attorney, you can hire an attorney on a limited basis to consult with you about your options or issues, to review documents prepared by your spouses attorney, or to review documents you have prepared. You can also consult with an attorney to help you prepare for mediation, prepare for difficult conversations with your spouse, learn about specific legal issues, or help you prepare for a hearing.

Divorce and/or child custody conflicts with your spouse or partner will be one of the more stressful experiences of your life. As your attorney, I will listen carefully to your concerns, and offer you practical and compassionate advise. I will work diligently to settle your case without subjecting you to needless litigation.
