Family 65%

We are specifically trained in the Collaborative Law process, which allows families to resolve their differences without the contentious and lengthy court process. Collaborative Law allows you to work together and put your family’s needs first. Our first step is to determine whether your case is appropriate for this process.

65%
Estate Planning 20%

Many of us have heard of someone who has passed away without a Will and left their loved ones with the difficult process of trying to navigate through the legal system. It is important to make your last wishes known with a valid Will or Power of Attorney. We believe it is our duty to explain the bigger picture of estate planning to you and give you solutions to life’s difficult decisions such as who will care for your children should you become incapacitated.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
