Law Firm Overview

What Sets Us Apart?

We provide effective and aggressive representation. We are willing to accept difficult cases. There is a benefit to the client in being able to work with the same attorney from inception through the conclusion of the case. Clients are never billed for inter-office memoranda. We practice law the old-fashioned way, by putting the client first.

What distinguishes you from other practitioners in their field?

The ability to maintain a sense of humor and balance, while aggressively advocating my client's position and coming up with creative solutions.

Let a Caring and Aggressive Attorney, with 30 Years' Experience, fight to protect your interests and find meaningful solutions for you.

We are most effective when working for a small business interest or for a client who is contemplating a divorce and is in need of Divorce Financial Planning. We welcome clients anticipating a contested Custody and Relocation case. We excel in negotiating creative separation/divorce, prenuptial, and domestic partnership agreements.

Client Service Policies and Practices:

We take pride in the legal services we offer and subscribe to the Statement of Client's Rights .

An engagement letter is provided for all legal services. Close communication with clients and copying clients with all correspondence sent and received is standard procedure. We *listen* to our clients, because each case is unique. In partnership with you, we seek to achieve meaningful solutions for you.

What professional accomplishments are you most proud of?

Having a client say "Thank you" when the case is over. Most of all, I feel a sense of satisfaction at the many cases that I have settled, rather than going to trial. For middle class people, divorce litigation is a disaster. Nobody wins a divorce. In most cases, a divorce trial reflects a failed negotiation as well as a failed marriage. One must choose one's battles, and where children are involved, we all need the wisdom of Solomon.
