I’ve practiced law 41 years. I’m old school. Law is not just a job, or even just a career, it’s about being of service to individuals and to society. That said, I’m also an outlier, in that I see both sides of things, and use my “EQ” (people skill set snd knowledge of what makes people tick) also. I've conducted legal education and founded a collaborative law group. My publications are read daily on Academia.

Family law attorney. I handle cases involving divorce and custody. Those cases involve sub-issues such as alimony, child support, restraining order, kick-out order, division of community assets, enforcement of orders, and post-judgment issues that may arise.
