also known as Fred, Clarke
After 20 years of managing corporate communications for some of the largest firms in the US, I entered the legal profession. I was tired of helping big business in their pursuit of the all mighty dollar. I wanted to help real people for a change.
Nothing is more rewarding than to help a family through the toughest times. Nothing more fullfiling than to protect someone in harm's way.
I might be a lawyer, but I know that divorce is more than just the law: It's about emotion. It's about protecting the children. It is about moving on.
Let me help you move on.
