My practice is focused on divorce and family law related matters in Wake County.  I approach each case with the goal of helping my client reach a satisfactory resolution in the most efficient and least stressful manner possible.  Whether it is an uncontested divorce, drafting a prenuptial agreement or a separation agreement, negotiating, mediating, or litigating, that goal remains the same.  Many of the cases I handle settle.  Settlement is by far the most efficient and least stressful way to resolve legal matters.  As I tell clients, we can only control our side of the case and, therefore, when settlement is possible, I will work equally hard to litigate their case.
