I love my job. I have the opportunity to represent real people who are experiencing real problems. I represent clients in all aspects of family law, including divorce, custody, equitable distribution, child support and alimony. My representation may include negotiations, mediation or litigation.  I am comfortable representing clients with regard to all domestic matters in whatever forum.

I have been a North Carolina State Bar Board Family Law Specialist since 1991. I have extensive trial experience at the district court level and have spoken at family law seminars on various family law issues. I am a mediator, arbitrator and collaborative attorney. I have acted in all capacities with regard to alternatives to dispute resolution.

I am also listed among North Carolina Super Lawyers® for Family Law as well as Best Lawyers in America.

During my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, reading, cooking and gardening.

Practicing family law is an opportunity to represent clients who are going through perhaps the most difficult time of their life.
