I went to UC Hastings College of Law with the intention of practicing Family Law.   I was drawn to the emotional nature of the work, and to the great positive impact that my work could have on families.. To that end, I worked for the San Francisco Family Law self-help center all through law school, and was selected to be a judicial extern for the San Francisco Unified Family Court.  I also worked as a research assistant for both Kelly Weisberg and Lois Weithorn, the two Family Law professors at Hastings.  I engaged in in-depth research projects and wrote substantive contributions to their casebooks.. Theory is all well and good, but the practice of Family Law is really what inspires me.  I worked in private practice as an associate at the Law Offices of Susan L. Jeffries for four years before opening my own law office.  I practice solely Family Law.  I assist my clients with a wide range of services, from the preparation of pre- or post-nuptial agreements to negotiating settlements on property and support, to representing clients at contested hearings.. Throughout it all, I endeavor to make a difficult time more bearable for each client, whether that be through easing their minds by giving them information on their legal rights, or by working on a limited scope basis to provide legal services at a lower cost.

Finally... a peaceful and fair divorce for a low flat fee Divorce does not have to destroy your family emotionally or financially. Court has nothing to do with fairness and divorce lawyers can keep things going just to make more money. Divorce mediation saves money, time and stress. Why pay lawyer fees of $40,000 to $400,000 when you don't need to?. ---. I have a Masters in Special Education and taught severely emotionally disturbed children for many years. I came to the law with a bias in favor of doing what is in the best interest of the children and was saddened to see how our adversarial system rips up families with no thought of fairness or helping couples get along (instead of fighting) so the children can be protected. After 8 years of private practice I swore I would never take another adversarial case and have done nothing but mediation for the past 5 years. I have helped over 350 couples divorce without fighting and every one has made a deal after working with me. On average it takes between 4.5 - 7 hours to complete the whole thing. Cutting divorce lawyers out of the process saves a LOT of money, stress and ugliness.

After dedicating my practice exclusively to family law matters since 1997, I passed the specialization exam and became a Certified Family Law Specialist in July 2008. My boutique firm is small, and my case load is managed exclusively by me. I do not have associate attorneys who will work on your case. I like to meet my clients in person, obtain the history of their case, and assess their individual situation. My goal is to settle cases where I can, and litigate when necessary. I am a tough fighter in court when litigation is called for. If children are involved, I try to settle if possible, as it is better for the children in the long run, to have parents who can work together. If the parents are at war, the children inevitably suffer. When litigation is the only alternative, I devote my energy and time to doing the best job possible to achieve the desired results. I have been married since 2000, and have two young children, so I understand the demands of balancing a career with raising children.
