Family Law
Family law encompasses marriage, divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, property division, paternity, domestic violence, guardianships and adoptions. The breakup of your family unit is an emotional time for everyone and all members of the family need to work through their emotions while still facing such issues as whether and how much time the children should spend with each parent, how to divide the property including pensions and businesses, and whether alimony is appropriate. It is too easy to just fight or give up during this emotional period. Having legal representation will help you understand your rights and obtain the best result possible for your specific circumstances.

I have been assisting people with their family law disputes since I began practicing law in 2000. This area of law changes frequently, with new legislation and recently decided cases, so I am constantly updating my knowledge and skills. I am proud that I am able to resolve most of my clients' matters without the necessity for in court litigation, since airing one's private business in the public forum of the courthouse is generally not healthy for the parties or their children.

Please take the time to review the informational materials on my website and contact me if you would like to schedule a consultation.
