Seeking candid, useful advice and quality representation in your family law matter? Call today!
It is my pleasure to practice family law in Harford County, where I was born and raised. Since completing my clerkship with the Honorable WIlliam O. Carr of the Circuit Court for Harford County in 2006, I have assisted a diverse group of clients with all matters relating to domestic relations, including, but not limited to, matters involving limited and/or absolute divorce, custody, child support, alimony, use and possession, the division of assets relating to the dissolution of a marriage, the negotiation of marital settlement agreements (separation agreements), etc. I also can assist you with step-parent and other adoption proceedings as well as provide representation when seeking or defending against a Peace or Protective Order.
Whether your case is contested and you are in need of a litigator to assist you through the Court process or your case is able to be resolved out of court through negotiation and settlement, I am able to assist you as necessary. Our office has a same-day consultation policy - meaning that we will make your request to meet with one of our attorneys a priority and attempt to get you in the day that you call to speak with one us of about your concern.
