My primary interest is in my three adorable grandchildren, but I also make time for crossword puzzles, reading and cooking.  The law is a second career for me.  My first career was in television production in New York, where I worked for NBC-TV and ABC-TV.  Although I came to the law later than most, I found family law to be the exact place to satisfy my interests and values and aptitudes.  I really care about the well being of the children of my divorce clients and make it my goal to help them restructure their family in a way that protects their children and opens the door to successful coparenting after my work is done.
