I have been practicing family law for over 32 years. Many of my cases are high conflict divorces that require not only legal skills but also an understanding of complex family dynamics and sensitivity to the needs of the children involved. After practicing as a litigator for many years I see a great need for an alternate approach. I chose collaborative law because I believe the parties are the only ones who really know what may be right for them and their families. I want to work with my client and the other party to construct a fair agreement that is tailored specifically to their situation. I believe that the best resolutions are derived from the parties rather than imposed by a Court.
