My philosophy is to help clients resolve legal matters in the most effective way possible. I accomplish this through communication, collaboration, interest-based negotiations and other progressive strategies. While I serves in other areas of law, family law continues to fulfill my passion for personally helping families in meaningful ways. My values center on understanding my client's needs and meeting those needs using my legal experience and problem solving skills. My experience as a divorce attorney representing both men and women has given me extensive experience handling negotiations between parties with oftentimes aggressive agendas, as well as experience in the needs of children and their families. My training and skills as a divorce mediator allows me to help keep conflict low to keep better solutions for the families involved.
