The effects of a decision in your family case can be long lasting and should be made with the best advice and information available. Family law is complex and ever evolving. I am committed to keeping my knowledge current in order to best advise clients and protect their interests. The choice of an attorney in a family case is extremely important. The relationship with your family lawyer is not at arms length. You and your attorney need to form a close partnership. I work with my clients to develop solutions to problems and to help my clients understand their choices and options. I want to work within each client’s specific goals and objectives.

Representation in Contested Divorce
Ann and Robert represented me in an incredibly contentious divorce that eventually went to trial. They were professional, empathetic, available, and knew what they were doing. I am grateful beyond words for their help and representation.

Weak on Strategy and High on Price
