I have been told I am aggressive without being "nasty."  I take pride in achieving my clients' goals in a way that minimizes the time and expense often associated with divorce and other family law matters.  I enjoy the ability to help people when they are very much in need of help and feel lost.  Being involved in the legal system is daunting in and of itself, so a lawyer who has compassion and empathy goes a long way toward easing the emotional toll of it all.  I am also very aggressive if the case necessitates that approach.  Finally, I pride myself on being available, returning phone calls and emails promptly, being considerate of others and being the best advocate I can be on behalf of my clients.
