I've been getting results as a family law attorney for clients in and out of the courtroom for more than 17 years. I understand that your case is as unique as you are. I take the time to understand your life, family, and long-term objectives. Whether you need a calm and diplomatic negotiator or a tough, aggressive litigator, my greatest asset is my ability to meet any situation with the right approach.
My main specialty has always been family law, but I bring expertise from virtually every type of civil and criminal litigation. I take pride in giving my clients the no-nonsense yet sympathetic advice they need. My first priority is fighting for your goals. I empower my clients by giving them the information and advice they need to make the right decisions during what can be one of the most difficult times of their lives.
In my spare time, I enjoy fixing up my 110 year-old house, flying airplanes, and torturing my dogs with my terrible violin playing.
