President of the South Miami/Kendall Bar Association
What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
Clients should educate themselves, but understand that there are very few issues that have a definitive answer and/or outcome. Issues are much more complex then they appear.
Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?
I will not do so.
Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?
I will not do so.
Why did you decide to be a lawyer?
I wanted to assist people on a more pro-active basis. My work in psychology led me to believe that this could often be achieved through law.
What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?
My degree in psychology and life experience affords me the opportunity to understand many of the psychological aspects of my client's issues. I received distinction within my psychology major by completing a thesis. I wrote this thesis on an analysis of the adjustment of children a year after the finalization of a divorce. I am continuously interested the psychological aspects of a divorce and believe in helping people work through these issues as well as the necessary legal issues.

I enjoy helping people work through a difficult period of time in their lives so that they can create a resolution they are happy with.
