I am currently accepting divorce cases and handling auto accident and personal bankruptcy cases statewide. My firm is recognized for our aggressive representation, meticulous preparation, and fair, flat fees. As a potential client, you can be confident in my extensive experience and dedication to your case, ensuring that you receive the personal attention your case demands. With over 24 years of practice, I am well-regarded by both opposing attorneys and judges.
Please be aware that I do not handle family law cases involving DFCS.
I maintain a very low caseload, which allows me to handle only one trial matter at a time. This means you won't have to worry about me being unavailable for your important hearing due to scheduling conflicts. I dedicate time to each client and each case, providing my undivided attention. Rest assured, I will personally handle your case from start to finish without delegating it to an associate.

- Q. Termination of Child Support Order.
- A: No, you can't just terminate child support. If you want timesharing, consult with an attorney about filing and requesting timesharing.
- Q. I’m seeking legal advice regarding my ongoing divorce case and I have not heard back from anyone?
- A: The best route is to have a consultation with an attorney who will review your entire case file and advise you on next steps.
- Q. We have two pieces of property, one in my name and one in me and my husbands name. I'm trying to get away from him.
- A: You will need to file for divorce. You can't prevent a spouse from coming into marital property until there is a court order that says otherwise.
