I believe in giving my clients 110 percent of my effort and loyalty. I am committed to providing zealous, aggressive representation for all of my clients, and have a track record to prove it.
In addition to being a lawyer, I am a Certified Public Accountant (licensed in Virginia), and have worked as an auditor and audit manager with the Department of Defense before going to law school and becoming an attorney. I find that this foundation has proved extremely valuable in representing my family law clients, as attention to detail can be very important and can often make or break a case.
