Hello.  I am glad you have chosen to review my profile, and I hope I can help you out with whatever legal issues you may be experiencing.   

I practice exclusively in the family law field, helping families resolve their conflicts in the most amicable and financially responsible way possible.  I am a trained and highly experienced Collaborative Family Lawyer and Mediator and handle a variety of family law matters, including divorce, child custody and possession, child support, paternity, termination of parental rights and adoption, international adoption, pre- and post-marital agreements, grandparent access, and basic estate planning.

Mediation is a great alternative where parties not needing full attorney representation can resolve their conflicts with a trained, neutral professional who can help them define their ultimate goals and reach the best possible outcome necessary to preserve healthy relationships and financial security.   Mediation also helps save money in that the parties can come in, settle their case with me, and then retain settlement oriented counsel to draft their legal pleadings - a win/win for everyone!

There is nothing more harmful to a family than the horrible conflict of courtroom battles. Collaborative law has developed as a marvelous conflict resolution avenue that allows husbands and wives, parents and children, grandparents, and other family members to reach resolution of their issues in an amicable and effective manner.

I am a single mother of two girls who are now 25 and 22 years of age working in Los Angeles and going to college in Colorado respectively...  poor me...  My ex and I have always maintained a strong and amicable working relationship that has helped us raise these kids in the best manner possible for divorced parents.  This experience helps me help my clients realize what really matters.
