As a Board Certified family litigator and father myself, I understand just how important your family issues are to you, and consequently, how crucial your decision is when choosing representation in family matters. I specialize in family law. I represent working professionals, small business owners, single parents, doctors, lawyers and a variety of others through divorce, custody disputes, child support issues, and CPS litigation. Whether the situation calls for extensive litigation or a more collaborative approach, I work closely with my clients to assure that their assets are protected, their children's best interests are attended, and their lives are actually improved as a result of the process.
