Biography
Specializing in Divorce, Restraining Orders and Law Enforcement clientele. Immersed in Law Enforcement culture. Extensive trial and litigation experience. Certified Mediator. Located across the street from the Monmouth County Courthouse. Chair, District IX Ethics Committee.
I have four children, all boys. My eldest is severly autistic and mentally retarded. My family adores him, and we dedicate most of our spare time to making his world a better place. We take this crusade on the road, involving ourselves in helping those with special needs, of any age.
My practice is my passion. I love what I do. I love the law. I love to litigate. I am always available to clients to ease thier stress and to strategize. I stay in touch when thier case is over, and many former clients have become personal friends.
My husband is retired after 36 years of Law Enforcement Service. We are dedicated to our family, and to the law.
