More Than 21 Years Of Valuable Legal Experience
My legal career has prepared me to see family law cases from all sides. As an experienced attorney, I have handled hundreds of cases ranging from divorce and child custody to paternity and modifications. I have been there before. I know what works and what doesn't.
As a pro tem judge, I have presided over legal disputes involving many of these same issues that you might be facing.
My experience as a police officer and prosecutor gives me a big-picture perspective on sensitive issues involving domestic abuse and orders of protection.
