As an experienced family law attorney with a career spanning more than 25 years, I have a deep-rooted passion for protecting the relationships, finances, homes, and businesses of the families I represent. I believe in helping people navigate through what is unarguably one of the most difficult chapters of their lives as seamlessly and successfully as possible while ensuring a solution that is tailored to meet the needs of each individual client.
