My practice focuses on family law issues and probate and estate planning.  I was an accountant for 25 years prior to going to law school and that experience has been a tremendous asset to my practice.  

Divorce is really about property division, spousal support, and child support and having the ability to wade through the parties financial situation is imperative to helping them reach a fair and equitable settlement.  Family law also involves parenting time and child custody issues and I believe that families benefit by finding a solution that works for all parties and for the benefit of the children.  Emotions run high when divorces are started but it is necessary to keep your eye on the final outcome for the children.  Parties may no longer be married but they will continue to be parents and must find a way to co-parent for the benefit of the children.  I like to help people find a way to do this.  Of course, there will always be situations when there is no negotiating and I am ready to fiercely advocate for my client when that occurs.
