Attorney Information
Overview
I help. It’s that simple. For over 20 years, I’ve focused on helping my clients navigate some of life’s biggest challenges: divorce, custody, domestic violence, and financial matters like alimony, child support & property division.
Often & understandably, clients feel unheard, overwhelmed & powerless. Together, we work as a team. To help each client do what’s best for them & their family. To help each client move forward.
Let’s move your story forward…
Everyone has a story. Whether “The End” or the blank page of new chapter, I’m here to move yours forward. To tell your story in court. To write an agreement for your new beginning. To put a period on what’s done. And to support you choosing your own next adventure.
No two clients are alike. To honor the unique circumstances of each, their family, and their story, I customize my approach & representation. Customized means zealous & client-driven advocacy, no matter how contested or uncontested. From amicable settlement, to strategic negotiation, to complex litigation and trial.
When clients often feel unheard & powerless in a situation that feels out of control, I empower them with information and knowledge about the law & legal process. So my clients decide what’s best for their story to move forward.
Together, my client and I collaborate as a team. We develop options. We evaluate solutions. We create strategy. Our team may include the Firm’s supporting associate attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants, as well as outside experts. My clients are not left to face challenges alone or unsupported.
Being a family-focused attorney means more than just knowledge, skills, and experience. For me, it’s about compassionate curiosity for my clients’ stories and passionate problem solving for their families. No matter the crisis or complexity, to move my clients & their stories forward to a better future.
