Firm Overview
I serve my clients with understanding and compassion. I listen to your story and focus on your goals. I can advise you of your legal options, but you make the ultimate decision on how your case should proceed. It is your life, your children, your property at stake, not mine. I am here to serve you.
Family law and estate planning allow me to interact daily with clients who need help navigating the legal system and protecting their rights as parents, spouses, and domestic partners. Knowing I helped a parent get the support he needs to raise his child, a couple to provide for each other in the event of tragedy, or a non-biological parent maintain a relationship with her child after a partnership dissolution gives me a great deal of satisfaction. This work speaks to my innate sense of justice and fairness, and the good the legal system can effectuate in peoples' everyday lives.
