I've been where you are. I have sat on all sides of the table. I have been a lawyer to the process, a mediatior to the process and even a participant. I truly "get it" and I can help your family. My practices' focus is on mediation, however, I am an experienced, respected and dedicated advocate when in individual respresentation . I help you, whether as a couple or individual, through the uncoupling and divorce process. I help us keep the important things in perspective and, when children are involved, help you keep their interests above all else and help you both learn to re-communicate and co-parent. With my MBA and business background, I am uinquely aware of the financials involved and can look at the information with an understanding that can help us come to the right and smart decisions for your futures. My goal is to help you understand and resolve to own your outcome. I work with you both and/or with your lawyers for a swift solution. I am accessable, reliable, honest, empathetic and process/solution oriented. I look forward to helping you.
