Attorney, Mediator, Collaborative Lawyer, Mother, Wife, Civic Volunteer
Whether you have been referred to me and wanted to check out my practice, you are browsing the internet because you are looking for information, or you have a problem or concern you are ready to address, congratulations! You have taken the first step toward a solution. The first step is often the most difficult.
Your situation is unique, and I will address it that way when we work together to solve it. With 38 years of experience practicing law, I have met a lot of people and helped them solve a lot of different problems in the areas of divorce and family law, business law, estate planning, and probate of estates. I have also handled cases where my clients have had millions of dollars at stake and where they have had a few thousand dollars at stake. When we first meet to talk about your legal issues, to the extent we can, we will also talk about a strategy, range of outcomes, and costs. We will discuss your options and approach your legal needs in a personalized way.
Whether your legal needs require a strong litigator in court, or you prefer to negotiate a resolution using me as your attorney, mediator, or collaborative lawyer, I can help you.
Presently, I concentrate my practice in divorce and family law litigation, mediation, and collaborative law; estate planning (wills and trusts); probate of estates; and business law.
