Life is not an event - it is so much more. Don't let legal issues prevent you from living a full productive life. 

The legal process can destroy or hurt people, or it can be used to assist people to reach a positive outcome. My practice has been geared toward assisting others in resolving disputes and legal issues so they can get back to living their lives - moving on. Problems are merely a moment in time. With some help, you will get past the problem. How you handle your problem will define your character; the problem may not define your life... but the decision is yours.

Most of the cases I handle are resolved by mediation and settlement negotiations in all areas of law I practice (call to inquire). It helps the parties reduce costs in court fees and attorney's fees. For example: In divorces (especially with children involved), settlement is much better than litigating and engaging in a bitter fight. All cases are different, so sometimes litigation and trial are necessary. My experience is that most cases do not require trial, but parties need help sorting out the issues and evidence, knowing what is allowed and not allowed (the law and procedure), where to find help (additional resources), and other issues. The result - a savings of money and reduced sleepless nights!

I've been serving the community for 21 years. Thank you for the opportunity to assist your families and businesses with respect to all parties. Our world needs less fighting and more listening and understanding and compromise. It is my hope that whatever bad situation brought you to our firm was turned into a positive learning process that will contribute to your future.
