My main focus in law is representing clients with divorce and employment related issues.. It should go without saying but sometimes lawyers forget that clients are the most important guests on their premises. As the managing partner of MKFM Law I strive to make our firm's mission and purpose the client.. -Our clients are not dependent on us - we are dependent on them.. -Our clients are not an interruption in our work - they are the purpose of it.. -Our clients are not an outsider in our business - they are part of it.. -We are not doing our clients a favor by serving them- our clients are doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so.. Most importantly, when clients voice a concern, we need to take notice and do something about it.. George Frederick

Whether through settlement, litigation, mediation or collaborative process, the family-law attorneys at Sage Counsel, LLC take into consideration many alternatives to move cases forward with the best possible outcome.. “We do whatever best helps us meet our clients’ goals, making sure each client understands the range of possible options and the likely outcomes through court and settlement,” said Nancy. “In many cases, we can find more satisfying ways of resolving issues for clients and their pocketbooks.”.

Her firm can help you sort through your priorities – such as your children’s well being and your financial security – and reach a satisfactory, realistic goal.

I believe that representing clients is a great responsibility and privilege. I take a personal approach to each client and to each case. You will have direct contact with the attorney handling your case, never having your legal matters handled by a paralegal, secretary or associate attorney.. As an experienced litigator with over 17 years of experience, I have experience handling the following types of cases, child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support/alimony, marital property division, allocating debt, QDRO's, dividing retirement accounts, enforcement, modificaition, orders of protection, domestic violence and juvenile matters. If you are contemplating filing for divorce, or your spouse has filed for divorce, please contact me. I will counsel you on the divorce process and help you prepare for the future.
