I strongly believe that divorce does not have to result in the complete breakdown of a family unit. My expertise lies in various areas of family law, where I assist diverse families in need of legal guidance. I offer my services to multi-nuclear families, addressing their needs from the early stages of marriage through prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. Additionally, I handle cases related to parentage for unmarried couples with children, legal separation, divorce, spousal support, child support, as well as child custody and visitation plans.

My approach differs from traditional courtroom proceedings, as I firmly believe that the courthouse is not the ideal setting for families going through such sensitive matters. Instead, I am dedicated to providing alternative, out-of-court solutions to my clients. While many individuals assume that litigation is the sole path for resolving family disputes, I offer innovative options like the Collaborative Process and Mediation. I firmly believe that divorce should not be synonymous with the destruction of a family. Rather, my goal is to help restructure and rebuild families in a way that promotes a healthier future for all parties involved.
