I have been practicing exclusively in the area of matrimonial law since my admission to the bar in 2005 and has significant experience handling all types of family law matters including, divorce, custody, child support, equitable distribution, domestic violence, and issues relating to college expenses/college contribution. I have significant experience in handling abuse and neglect matters involving the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (f/k/a DYFS) and frequently lecture on this issue to other members of the family law bar. At this firm, I continue representing client in all aspects of Family Law.
I am a 2005 graduate of Seton Hall Law School and received my B.A. from William Paterson University. Upon my graduation from law school, I clerked for the Honorable James A. Farber in Sussex County. I have devoted the entirety of my career representing client's in family law matters exclusively, including complicated matters and complex custody and abuse and neglect matters (DCP&P f/k/a DYFS).
In addition to my experience, I serve as a panelist for the Camden County, Burlington County, and Gloucester County Matrimonial Early Settlement Panel. I also serve as a volunteer attorney for South Jersey Legal Services, wherein I represents individuals in matters concerning domestic violence as well as divorce matters. I am a member of the Family Section of the New Jersey State Bar, Camden and Burlington County Bar Associations.
I am also highly involved in my community and am on the Barrington Board of Education.
