Family law is my specialty. I have practiced law for over 20 years, and since 1998 I have focused on the many facets of this area of law. Family law involves a wide range of issues, including divorce, child custody, grandparent custody (third party custody), child and spousal support, the valuation and division of property and debts, and domestic violence including physical and emotional abuse. Family law involves not only a wide range of legal issues, but of course also very strong emotional issues.
What is my approach to family law cases? Every case and client are different. My clients present me with a very wide range of goals and needs. If my clients need help defining their goals, we work on that first, and then come up with a game plan for how to most efficiently achieve the goals. Some cases require an approach sensitive to mediation and negotiation, while other cases require a stronger approach. Once I understand the client’s issues and goals, I find the right tool for the job at hand.
