Whether your divorce is amicable or requires litigation, I’ll guide you through each step. I focus on protecting your rights and ensuring a fair outcome, regardless of how simple or complex your case may be.

I’ll work to ensure an equitable division of marital assets and debts. My experience includes handling high-asset divorces with complex financial considerations, such as business ownership, investments, and retirement accounts.

I’ll ensure that child support and spousal support arrangements are fair and reflect your financial situation. Whether you’re seeking support or being asked to provide it, I’ll help you navigate this critical issue.

Collaborative Divorce and Mediation
If you and your spouse are open to a cooperative approach, I can represent you in a Collaborative Divorce or in mediation, which allow for a more amicable and cost-effective resolution without going to court. 

A Simple, Stress-Free Divorce Process

What to expect

Here’s what you can expect during your divorce when working with me:

  • Consultation – We’ll discuss your situation, goals, options, and next steps.
  • Filing – I’ll handle the paperwork and make sure your spouse is notified.
  • Information Sharing – Both sides share details on assets and debts to ensure fairness.
  • Negotiation – I’ll work to reach an agreement on property, custody, and support, almost always without going to court.
  • Court (if needed) – If necessary, I’ll represent you in court to resolve any disputes.  If your case is one of the approximately 2% that require a trial, we will enlist the services of a seasoned trial attorney to manage that process.
  • Finalizing – I’ll complete and submit the divorce decree, finalizing the process.
  • After the Divorce – If changes arise later, I’m here to help.
