About Alice
Biography
- My approach to practicing law is practical. I take a close look at each individual matter, and work with clients to determine the logical approach.
- I am settlement-oriented, but not afraid of fighting for your rights in court.
- I strive not to sugar coat the bad news, as clients do not pay me to lie to them. Instead, I prefer to spend my time working on workable solutions for clients.
- I enjoy working with clients to help them get through one of the most difficult times in their lives.
- I especially enjoy watching the transition my clients go through as they are making huge, positive changes in their lives.
- Please remember that anonymous online reviews do not always tell the whole story. If you want to know more about me and my approach to practicing family law, please directly contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.
