My mission

A Truly Personalized, One-on-One Legal Experience

I am dedicated to exclusively representing clients in family law matters, including divorce, paternity cases, custody and support issues, modifications of court orders, and other related cases because these cases really matter to clients and their families. My focus is on providing clear guidance and helping clients make strategic, informed decisions that align with their goals. I am always trying to efficiently get my clients to the finish line with as little mental, emotional, and financial wear-and-tear as possible.  While I prioritize cooperative solutions to do this, I am fully prepared to advocate in court when necessary. My commitment is to support clients through these challenging times, working toward outcomes that serve their unique needs.

My practice is unique: you will work solely with me—no other attorneys, no additional staff. When you call, I’ll be the one to answer, and when you email, I’ll personally respond. Contact me today to experience a truly personalized approach to your legal needs.

Experienced Divorce Representation

With years of experience in family law, I bring an in-depth understanding of the legal complexities involved in divorce cases. I approach each case with the care it deserves, tailoring my strategy to meet the unique needs and circumstances of my clients.

Personalized Legal Support

Every divorce is different, and I believe in crafting solutions that reflect the individual goals and concerns of my clients. I take the time to listen to and understand your needs, ensuring that your voice is heard throughout the process.

Protecting Your Rights and Interests

I am fully committed to safeguarding what matters most to you during your divorce. Whether it’s protecting your financial assets, preserving your time with your children, or ensuring a support amount is fair and appropriate, I am prepared to stand by your side.

My Compassionate Approach to Divorce

I understand the emotional weight that comes with ending a marriage. My approach is centered on empathy, ensuring that I provide not only legal guidance but also the support and understanding you need during this difficult time.

Efficient Collaborative Divorce solutions

Collaborative Divorce

Collaborative Divorce offers a cooperative alternative to traditional litigation, allowing both parties to work together with a team toward a fair and amicable settlement outside the courtroom. By focusing on open communication, mutual respect, and transparency, this approach gives you greater control over the outcome while easing the emotional strain that often accompanies divorce. Recognizing that divorce is a major life transition, my Collaborative Divorce services are crafted to minimize conflict and support a more positive, empowering process for all involved.

Divorce with respect

Amicable Divorce

Amicable divorce is a catch-all concept for several different divorce approaches that aim to maintain a positive dynamic and allow both parties to reach a fair settlement without conflict or courtroom battles. Whether it is early-stage mediation, me representing one party and the other party representing themselves, or something else entirely, I take a case-by-case approach with clients who prioritize maintaining an amicable tenor to the divorce process.   As an experienced divorce attorney, I specialize in guiding clients through amicable divorces to ensure a smoother, less costly, and more constructive transition. Contact me today to begin your journey.

Comprehensive child and spousal support services during and after divorce

Child and Spousal Support

Child and Spousal Support services help ensure that financial responsibilities are fairly shared during and after divorce, providing stability for both spouses and children. Child support covers essential needs for the children like housing, food, and healthcare, while spousal support (alimony) assists an ex-spouse in maintaining a stable lifestyle. Understanding that divorce can be emotionally challenging and financially complex, I am committed to guiding clients through this process with clear, strong representation to establish fair support arrangements that protect each family’s unique needs. 

Protecting your parental rights

Custody and Parenting Time

Custody and Parenting Time define how parents share responsibilities and time with their children during and after divorce, covering both legal custody (decision-making over education, healthcare, and more) and physical custody (where the child lives). Parenting time (visitation) schedules ensure both parents get to spend time with the child and play an active role in the child’s life. I understand that these are often the most emotionally charged aspects of divorce, and I’m here to help you navigate them with clarity and confidence, protecting your rights and prioritizing your child’s best interests. Contact me today to discuss your custody and parenting time options.
