I am a Florida Board Certified Marital & Family Lawyer, and am also admitted in Massachusetts and Georgia. I am a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, Florida Chapter.

I am also pleased to have served as Chair of The Family Law Section of The Florida Bar, where I was able to work towards bettering the lives of Florida's families.
