About
I began my legal career, following Law School, as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney. During my 8 years as a Prosecutor, I handled the most serious felony matters including Murder, Assault, Rape, etc. In 1995 I went into Private Practice where I began to emphasize work in other areas such as Personal Injury and Family Law. Today my practice consists primarily of Family Law Matters, includind Divorce, Custody, Adoptions, and Guardianships. Particularly in Divorce and Custody cases you need a strong advocate to help you obtain the best result as you navigate what may be the most emotional and traumatic period of time in your life. My job is to help you do that.
