Biography

I know from both personal and professional experience that divorce is emotional for everyone involved. No one expects to get divorced so it is naturally a stressful life-changing event. I’ve been in your shoes; I understand.

As emotional as it is, divorce is also a practical matter. While it may seem cold, when it comes down to it, divorce is essentially a legal “business transaction”. My job as your divorce attorney is to take care of the practical, material and legal aspects of your divorce so you can move on emotionally.

I’m here to protect your legal and financial interests now and ensure you have the tools and resources you need to start a new, happy, productive, fulfilling life without your current spouse.
