Board Certified Specialist in Family Law
As the child of divorced parents, I have seen firsthand the stress the legal system can have on a family. I was fortunate in that my parents had a wonderful support system comprised of other family members and their respective attorneys, making the legal process smooth and manageable. It is this background that led me to law school, and specifically to the practice of Family Law. My goal continues to be to dedicate my career to ensuring other families have a similar experience to mine. I consistently strive to be a strong support system for those going through a difficult period in their lives by providing impeccable service and a sympathetic ear. I believe that with the right service and support, families can successfully navigate their legal matter and move forward in a positive manner.
