Family law is a deeply personal process that intertwines legal, emotional, and financial challenges. With over 20 years of experience, I guide clients through complex transitions with a focus on achieving practical solutions that align with their goals. 

I work with individuals facing high-stakes disputes, including those with complex financial portfolios, sensitive family dynamics, and cases requiring discretion due to public attention. Whether addressing intricate issues like business valuations and asset tracing or resolving custody and parenting time matters, I approach each case with strategic insight and care. 

Clients rely on me for candid advice and straightforward answers, even in the most challenging situations. I tailor my approach to each client’s needs, whether providing behind-the-scenes guidance, crafting creative resolutions in mediation, or advocating vigorously in court. Throughout the process, I remain focused on delivering value, balancing what’s at stake with a clear understanding of the costs involved. 

I also bring extensive appellate experience to my practice, representing clients in family law appeals that require a nuanced understanding of the law and meticulous attention to detail. 

No matter the circumstances, my goal is to help clients move forward with clarity and confidence, always keeping their long-term interests at the forefront.
