Additional Information
Q&A
My practice is uniquely tailored to accommodate the needs and requirements of each client.
Clients tend to ask me, "will I be okay?" I generally ask my clients where they see themselves in a year and five years
The most challenging aspect of the practice i in explaining the limitations of a justice system and coming up with a plan to work within that system.
I enjoy exercising, spending time with family, and watching baseball.
When lawyers treat each other with respect and professionalism, the experience of a divorce, while not pleasant, is more tolerable and less expensive.
