I am NOT your Typical Attorney

---

As a Family Law Attorney, it is more than just an understanding of the law. It is understanding the stress these litigation can bring on parents and children. It is being there for my clients every step of the way and seeing them as an individual and not a paycheck. My passion is keeping families together and making sure nobody ends up in the same situation I did feeling hopeless. You shouldn't have to fight to be a part of your child's life.

I was involved a high conflict divorce with very limited resources to fight for my rights as a parent to my daughter. And after the very nasty divorce co-parenting was extremely hard to do. How can you expect to co-parent with someone you could barely parent with while married? The first 8 years of my child's life were primarily with me, then the next 7 years she was primarily with her father. I was then alienated from her for 2 years, which was one of the toughest times of my life. And then finally I got her back and got sole custody. Due to these experiences I can relate to many of my clients because I have lived it myself. Which ultimately means that not only do I thoroughly understand the law and your rights, but I understand the stress each party deals with. Most importantly, I understand how high conflict co-parenting could effect a child. Sadly, I have lived to see the outcome of what it did to my child. But I am happy to say, she used her pain to help other children like herself.I will never forget sitting in a mediation, where I had spent tens of thousands of dollars in 4 months and was told that I could be the primary residential parent again, but it would be at least $40,000 more. Having no more funds, I settled on an agreement that I didn’t agree with merely because I ran out of money. I then realized my child had become a pawn in this litigation of who had more money. And I was fighting an unfair fight in a never ending battle. That was the moment I decided to become a lawyer and make it my mission to help those families, who endured the pain that I endured, get their children back.
