Practice philosophy "I strive to handle every case with the most effective combination of zealous advocacy, pragmatism, and cost-efficiency that I can deliver. In no other practice area do clients 'live their case' each day the way that they do in family law matters. Every person who walks in my door deserves not only a focused litigation strategy, but patience, attention and respect."
