I am an attorney with over 30 years of experience in Family Law, including 20 years in private practice and 10 years as a Family Court Magistrate. My goal is to help couples navigate all areas of family law with clarity, compassion, and cooperation—resolving disputes in a way that saves time, reduces cost, and protects what matters most.
My legal and counseling background allows me to guide clients through even the most complex cases with professionalism and care. I have been a frequent lecturer on issues related to Family Law and an adjunct professor at. My work as an appellate attorney has affected positive change in Family law.
