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.. _______________________________.
