Attorney at Law
“My focus is primarily on family law, and finding solutions for each unique case that best serve the needs of my clients.  I know that when clients walk through the door they are looking for compassionate, thoughtful representation.  My goal in every case is to provide honest and educated answers to take the confusion out of a time-consuming and emotionally draining process.  I understand that the unknown of the divorce can only be lessened by providing upfront and prompt explanations of the law, procedure, and various informal options for resolution.”
