Hello I have been practicing law for over 22 years. Prior to law school, I was a nurse practitioner for 12 years. While all of this past experience has provided me with extensive knowledge in the practice of law, probably the most beneficial experience that I received was having gone through a divorce myself. This provided me with an even greater understanding of how difficult and emotionally trying a divorce can be. I pride myself on the fact that I am very responsive to my clients because I know that there are lots of questions that result from this traumatic life change. I also am very cost conscious and while I can be very aggressive when need be, I also recognize the benefits of mediation. As a certified mediator, I can help resolve cases without the stress and financial burden of court litigation.
