Family 40%

If a parent is seeking to modify custody or visitation in a post decree action, or in a parentage action between never married parents, we will work with you to protect the best interests of the child. I recognize that it is important for a child to have meaningful time with each parent, and that those needs often change as the child grows older and the parents' lives evolve.

40%
Divorce and Separation 30%

Whether you are initiating the process or your spouse has already filed, I can help you through this difficult time. The process of getting a divorce can be a long one, but I will work with you to make sure that all aspects of property division, care of the children, and financial maintenance are worked out so that you can start your life anew.

30%
Mediation 30%

I act both as a court appointed mediator and as a private mediator in both pre and post decree cases.

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.
