  • Divorce: it's time to disentangle. You need an attorney to look out for your interests. I'll guide you through the divorce process so you can start the next chapter satisfied that you got the best outcome possible, and that you fought for what's fair. Trial isn't the only path forward and I'm in favor of settlement and cost savings for you. But sometimes trial is the only path forward. If there are chidlren involved, their interests should come first.

  • Custody labels determine your involvement in your child's life and your ability to make decisions on your child's behalf. I'll protect your right to raise your child or children - without costing you their college savings.

    You have the right to be involved in your child’s life. Your child deserves to have time with you. If the other parent is withholding your child from you, minimizing your time with your child, refusing to give you information about your child’s healthcare or schooling, or refusing to involve you in major decisions that impact your child’s well-being, it’s time to go to court. Get in touch.

  • The court often orders monthly child support payments between parents who are separated. Many factors go into the court’s calculation of child support. I’ll walk you through factors impacting child support and run a calculation for you, so that you know what to expect.

    Whether support needs to be established or modified, get in touch right away. The sooner you file, the sooner the court might consider implementing your requests.

  • Parenting time, emergency family court filings, grandparent visitation, adoption, domestic orders, child protection matters, or any other family related matters. Get in touch.

Do not go to family court without an attorney who specializes in family law.

See the picture of the lovely flower? I grew that flower and took that picture, but I’d much rather have the expertise of a master gardener and a photographer if I knew that the flower and photo would be judged.

You will find a lot of free legal information and AI summaries online about custody, divorce, dividing assets, or some other family law concepts that you’re looking into. There are many services offering to help you draft your legal documents for a fraction of the cost of hiring an attorney. Those helpful AI summaries could apply to another state, could be making up “sources”, or could be flat out wrong. Practicing law is more complex than simply knowing general legal concepts.

Don’t “read up” online and go to court alone. Your family court judge is going to make decisions that are likely permanent. Get some expertise on your case.
