About Benjamin
Biography
Going through a divorce myself gives me great insight into my client's emotions during this most difficult time. I am a divorce litgator by trade. However, I also teach divorce recovery at my church and encourage couples to reconcile if it can be done. I am a registered mediator and Guardian ad Litem (child's attorney) as well. I fought for custody of my now 14 year old daugther, and have successfully co-parented with my child's mother for over a decade now.
I enjoy playing sports (basketball, soccer, and tennis) and am an avid reader.
