Tell us a little bit about your practice and what makes it unique.

• My firm focuses on complex family law issues. We look for creative solutions that are individually tailored to particular families and situations because we realize that one size really does not fit all.

What is most challenging about your area(s) of expertise?

• It is much easier to resolve disputes about money that disputes involving children. It is relatively easy to do a "cost- benefit" analysis when the battle comes down to dollars. However it is impossible to expect a good parent to put a price tag on time with his or her child.

Were there any particular inspirations (people or events) that spurred your interest in your practice area(s)?

• When I was in college I talked to the local District Attorney about my plan to apply to law school. He told me not to bother applying because I would never get in, and if I got in, I would never make it through the program. That conversation made me both angry and determined. I am proud to have proved him wrong.

What other interests do you have?

• skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer!
