All lawyers deal with the law, but family law attorneys are uniquely involved in our clients’ most personal lives and their most precious assets – their children. As a lawyer and a mother of four, my goal is for my clients and their families to transition through divorce as painlessly as possible, both emotionally and financially. I empower my clients to take control of their lives and reach agreements when possible, or I advocate for them in court when more aggression is necessary. As a mediator, I guide both parties and their attorneys toward fair and reasonable outcomes, while creating closure and reducing tension whenever possible. There is usually a creative solution to a problem if everyone simply “thinks outside the box.” It may just take a bit of extra effort to get there.

However, there are times when a solution is not possible or the other side refuses to compromise. I have been a Family Law litigator for over 20 years and continue to actively try cases in the courtroom. Not only does this give me a better perspective in mediating a case to settlement, but it also allows me to more accurately gauge my strategy for court so that I’m able to be a more successful advocate. Each case is different, just like each family is different and no two cases are alike. Some cases require both aggression and compromise, and I regularly handle both.

It is truly rewarding for me to help my clients navigate through the divorce process and achieve the finality they need to begin a new chapter in their lives. I would love to sit down with you to answer all of your questions and talk about how I may be able to help guide you through one of the most difficult times in your life. I have recently opened my calendar to accept new clients and can be reached by phone or email.
