We are happy to help you. My firm is noted for our aggressive representation, meticulous preparation, and fair, flat fees. Potential clients can be assured that I have the necessary experience and dedication to your case and will give each and every client the personal attention that their case requires. I have been practicing for over 22 years, so I am considered an expert in my field and well regarded by opposing attorneys and judges.
Please note: I DO NOT handle family law cases when DFCS is involved.
I have a very low caseload, so I only handle one trial matter at a time. You will not have to worry about me not being able to handle your important hearing because I have another scheduled at the same time. I set aside time for each client and each case so you get my undivided attention. I will never hand your case off to an associate.

- Q. Can a custodial parent submit doctors bills after the decree is completed?
- A: A decree doesn't always "end" on a child's 18th birthday, and definitely does not if the child is still in high school. If the bills were incurred while your child was a minor or in high school, you may still owe. Consult with an attorney who can review your decree and give you specific advice.
- Q. How can I fire a lawyer he had not responded to me in one month? Any example letters? I paid 50% of a flat rate upfront.
- A: You can terminate representation for any reason. It doesn't have to be fancy. You can just send an email saying "I no longer wish to work with you as my attorney. Please stop work on my case and I am hiring someone else. Thank you."
- Q. I am filling for a contested divorce and the lawyer of the respondent doesn’t want to submit the necessary documents
- A: The other side only has to submit documents if you have asked for them the correct way. If you have properly filed and served request for production of documents, interrogatories and request for admissions, you have to follow up to make an effort to resolve the dispute. If you have done that, then a Motion to Compel that is in compliance with the superior court rules is necessary to compel the responses. You should probably get an attorney to help.
