Practice Areas

Alimony 20%

Alimony usually is not a separate practice area. It is part and parcel of a divorce case, where there is a "long-term" marriage.

20%
Appeals 20%

I have well over one hundred reported cases, which can all be found on Westlaw or other legal search engines. My appellate work is not just in family law, but extends to all phases of civil law, in both state and federal courts.

Child Custody 20%

Child custody is usually part of an ongoing divorce case, but many times it can become an issue after, or even before the divorce. It is an expensive ordeal for most people, not merely for the attorneys fees, but in paying for psychological evaluations and court testimony, along with guardian ad litem costs. Anyone contemplating a custody battle must understand the costs involved and be prepared to go the distance, if they really want to be successful.

Adoption 5%

stepparent and family adoptions only. No 3rd party adoptions.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
