My law practice is divided evenly between family law and criminal defense.I have been in practice for over 37 years, and during that time have gained extensive trial and litigation experience, as well as mediation and settlement skills.My family law practice covers all areas from the initial filing for a divorce through post judgment issues, including child custody, child and spousal support, move away cases, property division, asset evaluation, domestic violence restraining orders, paternity matters, and adoptions.My criminal defense practice is focused in federal court where I worked on the CJA panel for 28 years. However, I also represent individuals in State Court criminal matters.Practicing both family law and criminal defense, I am the perfect attorney for someone who has been criminally charged with domestic violence, and served with a family law domestic violence restraining order.I give each client my personal attention - there are no layers of assistants and paralegals to go through - giving excellent representation at reasonable rates.Call me for a free one-half hour consultation. Knowledge is your greatest asset in your case.I can assist you to acquire this knowledge before you take your next step whether it be to start your divorce, proceed in your ongoing case, or make that first court appearance."We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." Aristotle
