After graduating from law school, I clerked for two years for the justices of the Massachusetts Probate & Family Court. Since joining Schmidt & Federico, P.C. in 2001, my practice has focused in all areas of domestic relations and family law, including divorce, custody, modification and contempt actions. My cases include complex business valuation cases and custody matters as well as other complex family law cases. I am also a trained conciliator.
