What makes me unique as a family lawyer is that I have directly represented children in court who often have come from divorced/separated parents where physical and/or emotional abuse is often present. This has given me insight into how to effectively advise my family law clients in navigating the court system in order to reach their goals and to minimize the emotional damage that often comes with litigation. I have been recognized throughout the state for my passion in protecting children and I offer these experiences to my clients beginning with a FREE consultation.

Let me start off by saying Joe is hands down a life savier! I spent a good 5 years going back and forth with the mother of my children and my previous attorney who was clearly just taking my money and doing absolutely nothing for me.
