Her comprehensive approach has distinguished her from her contemporaries branding her a full service niche practice.

She has successfully argued for and against parents’ petitions for primary physical custody, shared physical custody, and visitation, ,as well as spousal support, alimony, alimony pendent lite, and what is considered equitable distribution.
