Attorney Profile

My practice objective is to provide professional and informed representation in the most expeditious and economical manner possible in consideration of each client's circumstances. Amicable settlement is the ultimate goal, if it is possible, to avoid the financial and emotional cost of litigation.

I am a caring and responsive family and marital law attorney with twelve years of exclusive experience in the areas of divorce, child custody/visitation/child support, stepparent adoptions, and name changes. I provide personal, professional representation with expeditious and cost-effective resolutions tailored to resolve your individual circumstances. I understand the emotional and financial costs of litigation and I will resolve in the most expeditious and cost-effective manner possible the following legal matters:

• Divorce
• Child custody, visitation, support (children's issues whether married or not)
• alimony, maintenance, support
• Equitable distribution of assets and liabilities
• Paternity actions
• Agreements
• Modifications of final judgments
• Name changes
• Stepparent adoptions

Although I strive for an amicable resolution of a divorce and family law case, there are circumstances where it is not possible to resolve the client's case amicably. Under these circumstances, I will aggressively represent the client to attain the best result to which the client is legally entitled. I will advise the client as to the law regarding the client's issues and I will not mislead the client if the client desires an outcome which is not legally possible. My first priority is to obtain a result for the client which is in his or her best interest and legally obtainable. My contact with my clients is in a casual, yet professional manner and I will always represent my clients in a professional and ethical manner with the Court and all parties involved in the case.
