Our Philosophy
We understand that your life is in chaos and may even feel uncontrollable at this time. Our commitment is to help you prepare for a process that will help you design a solution unique to your circumstances and to your family. We pledge to guide you through this process with dignity and respect.
Years of intense family law courtroom experience have taught me that the best outcome for your family most likely will not be delivered from the court system. The judge or the commissioner has a very limited snapshot of your family and has a very limited amount of time during which he or she must make a decision. After dedicating my career to family law litigation, I have shifted the focus of my practice from the often destructive and expensive model of litigating family law matters to a more client-centered and peaceful practice.
My firm embraces the concept that durable family law outcomes are the result of a client-led and attorney-guided process. Therefore, we offer the following range of legal options:
- Limited-scope family law and divorce representation (coaching and consulting);
- Divorce mediation for pro se/self-represented parties;
- Collaborative divorce representation.
- FasTrack divorce representation.
We believe the best consumers of legal services are well-informed clients. Therefore, we have a client library that includes materials about surviving the divorce process, guiding your child through the often trumatic process, addressing financial issues and resolving post-divorce issues.

- What is Pro Se legal representation?
Pro se is a Latin phrase meaning "for oneself" or "on one's own behalf".
Pro se legal representation means advocating on one's own behalf before a court, rather than being represented by a lawyer. Quick Contact Form
