I am a partner in the Modesto Office of Borton Petrini, LLP. I practice family law emphasizing in child custody disputes, support matters, property division and divorce proceedings. I also represent in cases involving adoptions, guardianships and premarital agreements.. Further, I practice bankruptcy law and I'm admitted to practice before all the courts of the United States District Court of the Eastern District of California. I'm also a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys.

Like most family law attorneys, I chose this practice area because I care deeply about children and families. Unlike many family law attorneys, however, I understand on a personal level how to navigate the emotional and financial struggles facing clients.  I have literally been in their shoes and those of their children. Having experienced these challenges personally, I am uniquely qualified to balance strategy and practicality while providing my clients with long term, positive life changing results.. My philosophy is that the best victories are those is which you win without having to fight. My job is to guide, support, and navigate my clients through the complexities of both the legal system and life, fighting the battles which are necessary and avoiding those which are not, with a focus of rebuilding and laying a solid foundation for the future.
