Biography
I support individuals seeking to reclaim control of their lives and resolve disputes through a practical approach. With over two decades of legal practice, I have managed numerous cases involving marriage and family law. While I possess significant courtroom experience, my current focus lies on mediation and collaborative law as many of my clients strongly prefer avoiding litigation. My goal is to bring about a positive impact in the lives of individuals navigating challenging family transitions. I assist both mothers and fathers in crafting realistic parenting arrangements that acknowledge the vital roles of both parents. Proficient in all facets of prenuptial agreements, post-marital planning, and divorce proceedings, I cater to a diverse range of family structures. Additionally, I possess substantial expertise in real estate transactions and trusts and estates matters.
