Top Best Child Custody Lawyers | 4013 Available

I am a long-term resident of Southwest Florida, and received my undergraduate degree from St. Joseph’s College in Maine, and my law degree from Stetson University, College of Law in Gulfport, Florida. Since 2008, I have practiced family law. My approach to family law matters is to zealously represent my  clients but still maintain respect and dignity for the parents and children after the case is completed.

As a native Oregonian I truly understand and appreciate the area in which my clients live and work.. My practice is primarily comprised of representing parents or children in cases where the State removes a child from his or her parents care.  In this area, an attorney must be able to work with parents, other attorneys as well as Department of Human Services caseworkers.  I often state that my job in this area is half lawyering and half social work.  In this area, I have been able to reach positive outcomes for the majority of my clients which include dismissal in the early stages of the case, a quick return home of the child if the State felt that a removal from the parents' care was necessary or fighting the strong arm of the State.. In addition to my work in juvenile law, I also practice in the areas of family law, criminal defense and adoptions.. Regardless of the reason why I represent you, I am dedicated to providing competent, compassionate, and zealous advocacy on your behalf.. Outside of the practice of law, I am a novice gardner, a prolific knitter and a proud dog owner.

The success of my practice comes from my ardent philosophy of providing clients, regardless of income, with the most elite, aggressive representation that always includes meticulous listening, diligent legal research, thorough motion practice, advanced legal writing, skilled negotiating, and comprehensive hearing and trial representation. Prior to becoming an attorney, I was a social worker (M.S.W.) for 20 years, making me uniquely qualified to advocate for children and adults with complex legal, cultural, economic, and clinical needs who are facing the overwhelming power of the state in the Department of Children and Family. In Care and Protection cases, I provide comprehensive legal services and rarely advise clients to waive their rights at the 72- hour hearing, a critical legal juncture where I have had excellent success in quickly reuniting children and parents.

I have 34 years of experience in child welfare law, including child abuse and neglect cases, adoptions, guardianships, paternity actions, and grandparent's rights in both the Probate and Juvenile Courts in Massachusetts.  I was an attorney for the Department of Children and Families for almost 33 years and have an excellent knowledge of the inner workings, as well as the policies and regulations of the Department.  I have a tremendous amount of experience in these areas as well as representing parties in Fair Hearings to contest a finding by the Department that a party has abused or neglected a child.  I know how to navigate the system and am a very strong advocate for my clients.. I have excellent relationships with the courts in Southeastern Massachusetts and have the respect of the Judges before whom I practice.  That, coupled with my litigation skills and knowlege of the laws and regulations, allow me to provide excellent representation for my clients.
