“My motivation as a family law attorney is fueled by my passion to preserve and promote loving, supportive environments for our children and to secure our clients’ financial stability. The law is dynamic and so are families. Understanding this, my practice and career are solely dedicated to addressing the challenges or adversity inherent within these dynamics.”
“While a solid understanding of the law is fundamental, a family law attorney can only provide successful representation if she possesses sound, rational judgment, meticulous attention to detail and the ability to communicate effectively with your client, opposing counsel and the court.”
