In my practice, I prioritize collaboration, where clients work together with a professional support team, outside of the courtroom, to create customized agreements that work for all parties.

And for those seeking a more streamlined, self-directed approach, I offer mediation services, guiding you through the process, with minimal attorney involvement if that is your preference, while still ensuring legal safeguards are in place. My philosophy is rooted in civility, communication, compassion, and respect. Divorce and family law matters...
