My goal is to acknowledge all aspects of your unique situation, respect your needs, maintain contact with you as your case progresses to ensure you understand your legal options at all times, and focus on protecting your interests as I work diligently to resolve your matter.
Small Caseload
While practicing law may be business as usual for me, I understand that your case is intensely personal to you. Therefore, I maintain a small caseload to be available to answer your questions and address your concerns as soon as possible.
Personal Relationships
Let’s get through this challenging time together
Personal relationships are the foundation of sound legal counsel
Because of the intimate nature of family law cases, clients must share private, emotional information with their attorney. Without this knowledge, an attorney cannot provide effective counsel for the client’s case. An attorney must also be able to provide and communicate an honest evaluation of the client’s case. My previous experience working in various areas of the legal field including domestic violence provide me with counseling skills required by delicate, sensitive family matters.
Nonjudgmental, supportive environment
In our modern society, a nuclear family (married man and woman with children) is the exception to the rule. Understanding that families are not “one size fits all,” I encourage a nonjudgmental, supportive enviroment so we are able to candidly discuss the unique circumstances of your case.
Your teammate and guide
You certainly know more about your life than I do! I prefer to view our relationship as teammates, rather than something else. Your input and opinion is not only valued, but welcomed. The information you provide is essential to the successful representation of your case. Further, many of the decisions that must be made are of a personal nature to you. I provide professional guidance to assist you in making those decisions. Together, we develop a legal plan that meets your needs.
Become Empowered
Devoted to making sure you understand your legal options
- You should be aware and understand all of your options and obligations before you make a decision.
- If I inform you about the law and provide guidance and additional educational materials to you, you are better able to make informed decisions that secure your best interests and an advantageous resolution of their matter in the most expedient, affordable, and reliable way possible.
- Knowing my clients are under immense stress and pressure, I try to create a smooth legal process by empowering my clients and eliminating unnecessary problems or legal fees.
- Collaborative Law, Mediation, Alternative Dispute Resolution
- Always looking for the most appropriate ways to resolve your case successfully, expeditiously, and economically
- My firm emphasizes alternative dispute resolution methods (including collaborative law, mediation, etc.) over costly, and time-consuming litigation. In the event, we are unable to reach an agreement outside of court; however, I aggressively prepare your case as though we will proceed to trial.
