Divorce and Separation 40%

Ending a marriage is never simple. I guide clients through every stage of divorce—filing, obtaining records, crafting settlement options, negotiation, mediation and, if necessary, trial—while protecting financial, property, and parenting rights.

27 years | 450 cases

40%
Marriage and Prenuptials 20%

I’ve negotiated hundreds of agreements. This requires not only consensus but also careful and thoughtful drafting, collaboration and practical judgment. Successfully negotiating a deal can be both an art and a science, and it’s a skill I’m proud of.

20%
Alimony 10%

Spousal support affects a party’s financial future, whether as the paying spouse or recipient. I work diligently to secure fair, realistic awards and also assist parties with modifications when changes in circumstances are raised.

27 years | 200 cases

10%
Child Custody 10%

Few issues matter more than a party’s children. I help establish or modify custody and parenting time arrangements, from negotiated plans to contested disputes, always centered on the children's best interests.

27 years | 200 cases

10%
Family 10%

Family law shapes the most important of relationships. I represent clients in non-marital matters including cohabitation agreements, custody/child support, grandparent visitation, etc.—bringing strategy and common sense to the table.

27 years | 100 cases

10%
LGBT+ Law 10%

LGBTQ+ families face unique and sometimes complex legal questions. I work to assist with marital, divorce, parentage, custody, and related issues—protecting a party’s rights in all instances.

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.
