I represent individuals and small-to-midsize businesses in a variety of litigation matters, with a primary emphasis on contract and construction disputes.

When I began my legal career in 2002, I was already on my way to marriage number two. The first two marriages did not make it, and neither did the third.

Kids don’t make the decisions for their parents to divorce, nor should they have to bear the burden of their parents’ decisions. Not every family law attorney has direct experience with divorce, and it gives...
