Family law and divorce or separation are often considered part of the same practice area. These areas, and the real estate law that goes along with these areas, constitutes about half of my practice. Areas in addition to divorce include preservation of assets, custody, parenting time and visitation, modification of parenting time or visitation, and modifications of child support or spousal support.

My practice is relatively evenly split between Elder Law and Family Law, and the Real Estate law that goes with these areas. Elder Law includes Medicaid planning and applications; preservation of assets; obtaining, resisting, and administering Guardianships and Conservatorships; Probates; and Estate and Incapacity Planning, including Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, and Advance Directives for Health Care.

Family law includes divorce and separation, as well as other areas including custody, parenting time and visitation, the modification of parenting time or visitation, and modification of child support or spousal support. Family law, including divorce and separation, and the real estate and the asset preservation issues that accompany this work comprise about half of my practice.

Most of my real estate work arises in the course of family law, including divorce and separation cases, or in the course of elder law work. Real estate can be the most valuable asset a family has, and preserving it, either during a divorce; or when long term care and Medicaid spend down become issues; or during a guardianship or conservatorship can be of great importance. Achieving these goals can also be technically complicated, particularly in these specialized areas of the law.
