Biography

I can put my 22+ years of legal experience to work for you! Retirement Plan Division:

Before I was an attorney, I worked for a benefit consulting firm and learned the ins and outs of ERISA and retirement plans. I have used that experience to help my clients get through the complex issue of dividing retirement plans in divorce. I'd love to help you, whether you need to negotiate the best settlement, litigate a dispute or draft the orders you need to get what you deserve! Pre-/Post-nuptial Agreements: I have years of experience helping my clients understand how best to protect assets when getting married. Drafting/Reviewing Settlement or Contract DocumentI was an English major and love to make sure contracts and settlement are free from loopholes.
