Biography

I concentrate on Collaborative Divorce, Mediation and Estate Planning in my practice. I litigated for many years – fighting in court, drafting adversarial pleadings, but have come to believe over the years that for virtually every family law matter like a divorce or custody dispute, or disputes over a loved one's estate, a better and less expensive option is Collaborative Divorce or Collaborative Law. You can find more about each approach on my website.

For Estate Planning, we focus not only on putting in place a plan for your estate that protects your assets, spouse and children, but also on a process that works to help avoid family conflicts in the future.

Give me a call and we can discuss your family law matter or estate planing. In my opinion, the decision how to handle a divorce or other family law matter is as or more important than the substantive legal issues in the matter; and seeking to avoid future family conflict a critical component of life and estate planning.
