I have nearly twenty years of experience as a zealous, no-stone-unturned advocate for individuals facing significant legal challenges. My approach to counsel is detail-oriented and holistic, always delivered with compassion. I represent people in all phases of the Massachusetts family court process including divorce, parentage, child custody, child support, alimony, and complex asset division.
Throughout my career, I have represented clients in thousands of matters and have tried both felony and misdemeanor cases before juries, including cases involving felony sexual assaults and serious bodily injuries. My experience spans a wide range of charges, including homicide. As a trial lawyer, I have extensively litigated various legal issues, such as eyewitness identification, coerced confessions, repressed memories, and search and seizure. While practicing in New Hampshire, I provided litigation support to other attorneys, focusing on areas like eyewitness identification and trial skills, including jury voir dire.
During my time in law school, I worked for Hon. Gary Katzmann at the Massachusetts Appeals Court, The Innocence Project - New Orleans, and Prisoners' Legal Services (formerly Massachusetts Correctional Legal Services). These experiences honed my skills and built my reputation as a consummate professional, a relentless investigator, and a skilled negotiator. I am recognized as a lawyer of integrity and a formidable opponent. I bring all of these skills to my Family Law practice.
My law office offers representation in Family Law matters. I understand that you are facing one of life's greatest challenges, and I am here to guide you through the legal process every step of the way.
