Securing the Future When the Stakes Are High

Few situations are more challenging than a difficult family law matter. I help my clients successfully move through these life-changing transitions. Many of my clients are parents and high-net-worth individuals, including accomplished business professionals, C-suite executives, business owners, and their spouses who want to get through the divorce or the family law process with their dignity and finances intact. My overarching goal is to lead clients strategically and efficiently through the divorce process, whether we’re preparing for courtroom litigation, orchestrating a negotiated divorce, or engaging in settlement discussions.

In cases involving children in a divorce, emotions often intensify, necessitating a composed and skillful approach. I guide clients calmly through the intricacies of resolving contested custody matters, developing creative and tailored parenting plans, and addressing the specifics of child support. My experience extends to assisting clients entangled in emotionally challenging, high-conflict situations, particularly those associated with mental health and addiction issues, substance abuse, personality disorders, or domestic violence. With each client, I focus on identifying their priorities and devising practical solutions to achieve their objectives. As a result, clients feel empowered to make positive decisions about their children and take control of their finances as they enter the next chapter of their lives.

Here’s how:

  • Generate options and educate clients on making informed decisions aligned with their most important goals, never losing sight of what matters most to clients
  • Provide peace of mind to clients through highly responsive service and honest, frequent, and accessible communication
  • Facilitate resolution of highly complex financial and parenting matters, in or out of the courtroom, without unnecessary financial or emotional costs
  • Apply strategic thinking to help clients make educated financial and parenting decisions for the best possible outcomes”
