I provide supportive, thoughtful and vigorous representation. I am a sole practitioner and I am involved in every aspect of a client's case. I believe that negotiated settlements better serve my clients than litigation. Litigation has both a financial and emotional toll that can be avoided by negotiating a settlement. My mission is to give each client close personal and prompt attention. I have extensive experience negotiating settlements and drafting Marital Settlement Agreements, Separation and Property Settlement Agreements, Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements, Cohabitation Agreements, Parenting plans, and all other Agreements related to Family Law.
