I practice family law. I represent great people whose marriages or parental relationships with their children are at risk. My goal is to provide these clients with a dedicated, knowledgeable, experienced approach to maximize their results and protect their family's futures.. As a family law attorney, I am honored to be one of only a handful of certified SC Family Law Specialists in South Carolina (National Board of Trial Advocacy); a Fellow, American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and International Academy of Family Lawyers. I am also rated AV® Preeminent Family Lawyer by Martindale-Hubbell and am honored to be designated as one of SC’s Top Family Lawyers by Super Lawyers.. My involvement with the AAML, SC Family Law Section and ABA Family Law Section have enhanced my law practice greatly. Collaborating with leading family lawyers, experts, authors and judges has taught me many valuable lessons that have benefitted my clients and increased my knowledge about complex family law matters.. Speaking, writing and publishing articles about family law matters has allowed me to delve into important areas such as understanding the valuation of businesses, how to work effectively with forensic business experts, custody evaluators and technology experts from an academic standpoint, and keeps me updated on new family law rulings and experts' methods. Ultimately, this additional work outside of representing parties saves my clients money and helps me better protect their interests.. Use of Technology:. My team and I take a novel approach to technology in the family court arena. When preparing a client’s case, we utilize software to create timelines, strategy plans, alimony projections, child support calculations, asset division tables, and trial exhibits to simplify complex matters and make my clients' positions understandable and more persuasive. We have found this approach provides clarity for clients when we meet to discuss case strategy and next steps before hearings, mediation, settlement discussions, deposition and trial. Many judges have also commented that some programs help paint a clearer picture of the parties and the facts unique to their cases.. Experts & Other Legal Support Professionals:. We work closely with an extensive network of experts and legal support professionals. Providing access to knowledgeable experts and resources is another service that helps us to protect our clients’ interests, financial and personal. These professionals include forensic divorce accountants, certified public accountants, business valuation experts, forensic computer specialists, real estate appraisers, licensed private detectives, psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, counselors, custody evaluators, physicians, certified vocational specialists, court reporters, process servers, guardians ad litem, technology experts, trial consultants and contract lawyers.
