Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation

For me, family is incredibly important.  My parents both come from families with 11 children (I currently have 34 aunts and uncles and over 100 cousins!) and I have always loved coming from a big family.  Because of this, I have chosen to focus my law practice on two areas that deeply affect families.. The first area I practice in, is family law.  I work with clients who need help with divorce, spousal maintenance (alimony), child custody, child support, or adoption.  When parents divorce it is a pivotal time for all members of the family and having the right attorney can make all the diffrence.  I have worked with clients to quickly and efficiently dissolve their marriage and resolve child custody and support issues amicably, but I have also had to fight tooth and nail for my clients to protect them from a spouse that is over-reaching and trying to take more than their fair share.  Regardless of the issues involved, I can help.. I also work with clients to protect and preserve the wealth they have have accumulated so they can pass it on to their children and grand children or pass it on to other charitable causes that are near and dear to their heart.  While many people believe estate planning is only for the rich and famous, everyone can benefit from having a plan in place to protect their wealth, provide for custody of their children, and prepare for the only two certainties in life, death and taxes.
