Having worked in the legal field for over 32 years (24 as an attorney...yes, I look young for my age) in a number of different areas including family law (primarily), personal injury/medical malpractice, criminal defense, Wills and estate planning, and probate, I have devoted my professional life to tough advocacy for and compassionate counsel of my clients. I am committed to providing thorough and effective representation to protect my clients' rights and interests, to resolve matters in the least litigious and most cost effective manner when possible, and to take an aggressive stand as my clients' advocate when litigation becomes inevitable. I endeavor to treat every case as if it were my own.
