OUR MISSION STATEMENT

Here is my personal mission statement:

I am a Family Law Attorney who cares about my clients.  I understand that my clients are in the midst of a difficult period in their lives. And by accepting their case, I have made a commitment to be there for them — to help them, to advise them, to support them, and to fight for them. I will tenaciously protect my clients’ interests by applying the legal knowledge, litigation and negotiation skills, and powers of persuasion that I have gained over my thirty-plus years of Family Law experience. I will work with each client to creatively explore options for settling his or her dispute in a healthy, amicable, and inexpensive manner if possible. These options may include the use of alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, settlement conferences, active negotiation, or collaborative divorce. However, if a fair settlement cannot be achieved,  then I can be counted on to aggressively fight for my client’s rights, utilizing the skills I have honed over many years as a courtroom litigator. My goal is to protect my clients; preserve their relationship with their children; assure that they receive a fair division of assets, and obtain the financial support they need to provide a secure future. I will continue to be both a caring, compassionate attorney and a fierce advocate for the best interests of my clients.
