As a domestic relations attorney, I represent clients by negotiating settlements or litigating cases in court. I always approach family transitions with the goal of proceeding as amicably as possible. When negotiations fail, however, I am comfortable serving as a zealous advocate within the court system. I work with clients who get along well with their spouses and need guidance on legal issues, and I also represent individuals who have abusive, intractable, and selfish partners. I have tried numerous cases and settled many more. Despite the number of divorce and other family law matters that I have handled, I consider each and every new case to be unique and deserving of individual attention.

As an attorney, I always search for a creative solution. Sometimes this involves seeking Court orders and other times it involves long talks with my client or opposing counsel to develop fair settlement offers that take into consideration the needs of all concerned parties. At all times, I am very child-focused, and encourage my clients to keep their children's needs at the forefront when considering various legal options.
