Creative solutions and options to achieve clients’ desired outcomes.
I listen carefully to clients to understand their circumstances, set goals, and tailor a plan to help them move forward with confidence. My clients include professionals, physicians, airline pilots, and their spouses who want to minimize the impact of divorce on their families and protect the best interests of their children. Building trust with clients is integral to my approach as I work with them to find creative and realistic solutions to their needs. I excel at resolving complex custody issues and helping clients make the best business decisions in complicated property cases. At the end of the process, my goal is for clients to achieve their priorities so they can live securely in the years ahead.
Here’s how:
- Develop a roadmap to reach clients’ goals, taking into consideration their most important priorities.
- Approach clients’ needs holistically, providing solutions and resources to address legal, emotional, and financial concerns.
- Emphasize attention to detail and preparation, from planning for client meetings to advocating effectively in court.
- Strategizing with clients on how to work with judges, building on my knowledge of the local courts.
- Keeping clients informed throughout the process and offering advice that helps them make the best decisions for their families.
