Profession(s)
Lawyer, MediatorI have practiced law since 1984, specializing in family law cases for over 20 years. Working with clients to understand their options and make positive decisions is rewarding. Collaborative law offers clients the ability for better communication, creative thinking and empowerment. Problem solving and working toward constructive resolution with opposing counsel has been part of my practice over the years. Collaborative work enhances those goals.

Comments
Along with the other professionals in the West Seattle Collaborative Law Pod, I have started a Second Saturday presentation at Highline Community College. We offer the seminar the second Saturday of each month. Three professionals - a lawyer, a financial planner and a mental health professional - present information about the divorce or legal separation process. We describe options available to parties, including collaborative law.
