I am an attorney, my husband is an attorney, my father is an attorney and my daughter is an attorney. My daughter has been working in my law firm for seven and a half years. My husband joined the firm in November, 2014. This addition has expanded our practice into the areas of Workmans Compensation and Personal Injury law. In 2020, we also expanded our practice into the area of Custody and Child Support Mediation. Our law firm is dedicated to truly listening to the client and helping the client make it through a difficult time, whether it be a divorce , a child custody issue, a child support issue, the death of a family member and the probate of their estate, a guardianship of a loved one who can no longer take care of their own needs, a car accident or an injury at work and the physical and financial difficulties that can entail or some other difficult situation. Our ultimate goal is to see each client as an individual and make sure that more than just their legal needs are met. However, since this is a law firm, our number one priority is making sure that we understand every aspect of our client's case and advocate strongly for our client's position. Call our law firm to participate in a complimentary 10 minute strategy session phone call. In that phone call we will define the legal issues in your case and determine how we can help you get the results that you want. You'll know by the end of the phone call whether you should hire us to help you win your case.
Practice areas
I have represented many families both in the capacity as attorney for a husband or wife in divorce cases, but also have represented abused and neglected children in the capacity as court-appointed attorney for children, otherwise known as a guardian ad litem (g.a.l.) in both domestic relations cases and juvenile cases and sometimes in probate cases such as guardianships and adoptions. I have been a g.a.l. for 23 years and it is very rewarding work.
34 years, 2,000 cases
This is also family law. I have represented as many husbands as I have wives always attempting to advocate strongly for my client while reminding them that if they have a child involved in their divorce, they need to remember how each of their decisions will affect their child and that if it were up to the child, the child would probably not want their parents to live in separate households and to be sensitive to that fact as they make decisions throughout the divorce.
34 years, 2,000 cases
Throughout my practice I have met with many clients and helped them prepare for the future in terms of their real and personal property, whether that be in the form of a wil, trust, power of attorney, beneficiary deed etc. and I have helped loved ones deal with the death of a loved one as they attempt to navigate their way through the probate court when dealing with a person's estate when they have created a will and sometimes when they have not.
34 years, 200 cases
This area is also part of my probate practice. I have done extensive estate planning which usually involves creations of a Will, Living Will, Durable Power of Attorney, General Power of Attorney, Beneficiary Deed or a Trust. After creating a will for a client, I generally encourage them to advise the personal representative of their estate to contact me at the time of their death to open a probate estate or file other necessary documents to effectuate their estate planning wishes.
34 years, 100 cases
I have handled contested adoptions, including termination of the natural parent's parental rights and I have handled uncontested adoptions, such as step-parent adoptions where the natural parents have consented to the adoption.I have represented adopting parents. I have represented children to be adopted as guardian ad litem to ensure that their rights were protected. I have also represented natural parents that did not want their rights terminated and taken several cases up on appeal.
34 years, 50 cases
I have wanted for years to be able to add mediation to my repertoire and was finally able to participate in the necessary 40 hours of Mediation Training during the COVID pandemic.
