Seasoned legal counselor provides trustworthy advice and skillful advocacy
A divorce or some other type of personal legal matter can affect you long after the specific case is closed. That is why it is critical to retain an attorney who is:

Knowledgeable lawyer offers a wide range of family law services
Family law encompasses a multitude of issues affecting marriage, divorce, and parenting. Clients most often retain my services for:
- Divorce — If you’ve decided to divorce, you have many options about how to approach the legal process. When a settlement cannot be easily negotiated, many couples benefit from mediation, in which a neutral third-party guides discussions toward a reasonable compromise. This enables the couple to have an uncontested divorce which avoids a trial. However, if the best way to secure fair terms relating to parenting and financial issue, I am always prepared to go to court.
- Child custody, visitation and support — Parents of minor children should take great care to establish appropriate custody and visitation arrangements. My firm examines each situation thoroughly to identify a parenting plan that is truly in the best interests of clients’ sons and daughters. I also assist with all types of child support matters, including modification and enforcement actions.
- Spousal support — I provide representation for spouses who are either seeking alimony or might be obliged to make payments to their ex. Disputes can arise over temporary alimony to be paid while the divorce is pending or a final determination to be included as part of the divorce decree.
My firm also handles bankruptcy and criminal defense matters.
