A Client Focused Approach

Family Law That Responds To You

Whether you are facing a divorce, custody dispute or adopting your step child, the family law process can be intimidating. Almost every client I've assisted has walked through my door with endless questions and concerns.

My primary job as your attorney is to provide you with outstanding legal advice and representation, but I add to that the duty of keeping you involved at every step of the process, keeping you informed and being a guide you can rely on through the legal system. I have a client-centered approach to practicing law that offers you an experienced law practice with a personal touch.

One Step at a Time

One of the most common concerns people have about a family law proceeding is not knowing where to start. Like all things, we start at the beginning, with me working as your guide. For example, you don't need years' worth of tax forms and government documents to start a divorce proceeding; you only need some basic information that you probably already know.

I'm here to work with you, and the best way to find out how to start handling your family law case is to contact me and schedule a free initial consultation.

Working for You

I take the time to learn about my clients, their families, their goals and their expectations. I have been handling family law cases like yours for more than 10 years, and I've helped people through the most difficult divorces, child custody disputes and guardianship proceedings.

Most of my clients are ordinary working families — people who simply want to protect their home or their hopes for the future. I am a strong advocate for my clients, but I am also sensitive to being cost-effective. I try to avoid long drawn-out conflicts and encourage my clients toward negotiation and mediation where possible. But when it's time to fight, I bring my decades of experience as a family lawyer to work for you.
