Comments

Over thirty years of experience in divorce and family law, both in and out of the courtroom, have led me to believe it is in the best interest of families and children to resolve family law conflicts using Collaborative Practice or other form of out of court dispute resolution. Resolution by agreement is more lasting, gives parties the ability to more deeply and satisfactorily address their differences, provides parents the opportunity to craft a parenting plan that works best for them now and in the future, and gives client control over outcome. Clients have choices, and I welcome the opportunity to help clients consider their options and to work with them to achieve their desired results.
