As a family law attorney, I use my expertise and experience to guide client’s through their family law matter.  I am a California State Bar Certified Family Law Specialist, which means that I took a second bar exam only in family law. 

In addition to a law degree, I also have an MBA.  But just as important as my credentials is the fact that I have personal experience in family matters.  I have stood in my client’s shoes.   I think that the best approach to solving family law issues is mediation or negotiation.  These approaches best preserve family relationships and are more cost effective than litigation.  That being said, litigation is sometimes necessary, but I discuss all options with clients.

I am also very aware that every client has different values and priorities.  I listen to my client’s needs and use my expertise to suggest a course of action to meet them, within the parameter of the law.  And when the case is over, clients leave the office knowing their next steps.
