Over 28 Years of Legal Experience

My legal memberships include the California Bar Association and the Association of Trial Lawyers of America.

Skilled California Mediation Services

Mediation is a process through which the terms of your divorce are settled out of court. If you and your spouse believe you can work together to arrive at a resolution, I can mediate your disagreements. I represent neither you nor your spouse-I simply advise you of the possibilities should you leave your disputes to be decided by a judge. In mediation, you and your spouse make the decisions, and I prepare all of the paperwork on your behalf. Contact me for more information.
