Certified Family Law Specialist with 20 years experience in every type of dispute between couples, in married and non-married relationships. I represent clients in all stages of family law proceedings and specialize in high conflict custody, complex property issues, and matters involving domestic violence. My litigated cases include several international child custody disputes, one of which resulted in a published appellate decision, and multi-million-dollar claims of breach of fiduciary duties.Family law involves some of life’s most difficult transitions. I work with my clients to develop a strategy for each unique situation, with the end goal in mind, and an eye towards minimizing the emotional impact of divorce. My psychology background and continuing education help me focus on my client’s needs and offer appropriate solutions. I believe in strong advocacy and use various forms of alternative dispute resolution to achieve a negotiated outcome. If a reasonable settlement is not within reach, I carefully prepare the case and vigorously represent my client's rights in court.
