My family law practice is entirely limited to mediation and coaching. After witnessing the financial destruction and emotional distress that accompanies a litigated divorce, I decided to devote my career to helping couples separate constructively, peacefully and with dignity. Not only does a mediated divorce typically cost tens of thousands less than a drawn-out courtroom battle, but it also maximizes the likelihood that the parties will enjoy a civil relationship after the legal work is done. This is critically important when children are involved. I handle the entire divorce process for my clients, from our initial meeting to drafting...

Because divorce is a problem to be solved, not a battle to be won, I focus on alternatives to the court system, through Collaborative Law and Mediation. I believe that most families and children are best served by being supported to work together in resolving their family matters. The fundamental goal in both Collaborative Divorce and Mediation is client empowerment.
With either mediation or the Collaborative process you will have control of the decisions that are made and will be firmly supported, legally and emotionally, in achieving a successful dissolution of your relationship. This not only allows but also encourages you...

In the past I have worked for the largest bankruptcy firm in the country and have handled hundreds of insolvency cases. Are you contemplating separating from your spouse? Have you been served with divorce papers already? I started my family law practice with the premise that I would always attempt to facilitate a collaborative divorce. Experience has allowed me to witness firsthand the potential of inadvertently creating acrimony between spouses (instead of reducing it) when the court system is used haphazardly. The courts should be a place of last resort - who wants a Judge who barely knows you to...
