As a family law attorney, I try to offer help in all facets of the divorce process. I hope this will be useful to you.

I have represented clients in a wide array of family law issues including divorce, custody (now known as “legal decision making”), relocation and modification actions. I have experience working with clients at every stage of representation from initial filing through final settlement or trial. I also frequently represents clients in uncontested family law matters.
