I am a California Certified Family Law Specialist. I have been practicing since 2002 with an emphasis in the area of family law, including child custody/visitation, child/spousal support, division of assets and debts and the whole host of issues that are very often intertwined in the dissolution process. Domestic violence routinely arises in the divorce setting and the manner in which it is dealt with is often crucial from the outset. I have spent the majority of my career as a litigator more comfortable in the courtroom than behind a desk. Clearly, no one calls an attorney because things are going well. However, there is always something that can be done to improve the situation and it is imperative to be proactive. If you have legal questions, please give me a call and let's talk about it. It may not be what you want to hear, but the information will be honest, straightforward and what you need to know.. Cash, check and credit cards accepted.  Payment options may be available.
