| General Comments |
| I devote the majority of my practice to helping divorcing clients reach a total resolution of their disputes without the added stress, cost and time of litigation. I strongly believe that family issues are best solved by the family members themselves, with the help of appropriate professionals. Collaborative law gives families the necessary resources to address the challenges that divorce presents, and allows them to reach a resolution that is uniquely suited to their situation. |
