I have dedicated my entire practice to assisting families in crisis. My practice is exclusively limted to clients dealing with issues of domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, termination of parental rights, juvenile delinquency and custody and visitation. Few situations in life are as important to people as their families and I have made it my goal to work as diligently as possible to maintain the integrity of the family which is faced with a variety of challenges.
