About Lilian
Biography
I am very interested in the psychological well being of my clients, and believe that my degree in psychology is very helpful in the practice of family law. People come to my office feeling depressed, stressed, sad, and angry because of the breakup of their marriage, breakup of their relationship and family. It is often heartbreaking to see the children from broken families feeling like they are to blame for the breakup of their parents relationship. It is my goal to do my best to help my clients go through this very difficult, and painful experience in their lives. I encourage them that there is always light at the end of the dark tunnel. I also remind them that this too will pass, and it is only another chapter in their lives. Keep pressing forward. It is always brightest before the dawn.

When quality counts…
Lilian is fabulous! Her knowledge of family law and all the ins and out when going thru a divorce is not only comforting but makes a huge difference in the outcome. I’ll just say, I’m glad I found her before my ex did!
