Firm Value Statement:  I take a practical, yet compassionate approach to each of my clients. I understand that you are facing difficult emotions and concerns. I am dedicated to helping you sift through your issues and develop a commonsense plan to provide you with a sustainable future. I have worked with a large number of families throughout the years and recognize that relationships are complex.  My commitment to developing strong relationships and offering personalized attention has always remained my highest priority.  There is no one-size-fits-all approach to divorce and other family law cases that works for everyone. In a Collaborative Divorce, I will work with the team to help the parties reach a conclusion that supports their best interests.
