Giving clients peace of mind that their trust is well-placed.
I work to find solutions and be a zealous advocate for clients as they face some of the most challenging times of their lives. Letting clients know I am in their corner helps build trusting relationships and the confidence that together we can accomplish things that would not be possible on their own. Resolving children’s issues such as custody, co-parenting, and possession schedules is a special interest of mine.
Here’s how:
•Give straightforward counsel and keep clients in the loop to answer their questions and relieve anxieties.
•Establish goals and navigate a way to get there.
•Listen deeply to clients’ concerns, fears, and goals and work in partnership with clients to create a plan for achieving what is most important.
•Empathize with clients’ situation and strategize to achieve optimal outcomes.
