What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?

I like my clients to educate themselves as much as they can.

I am willing to review documents prepared by clients.

Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?

I have coached numerous clients on how to bring their own case.

Why did you decide to be a lawyer?

My father was a lawyer and I was exposed at an early age. I love the challenge of helping family law clients through the trauma of divorce.

What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?

I started law school later in life. I was a lifeguard, bartender, and mortgage broker among jobs that dealt with helping people.

Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?

Family law is a difficult, yet rewarding, area of practice. My strength is sifting through the little dramas to see the big picture, and then the path on how to get there.

What do you like best about your career?

Having a great meeting with a client, even if they do not need to hire me.

My strength is analyzing the case and making the initial assessment. Also, holding hands and showing sympathy when it is needed. I am not afraid to be blunt and honest when it is needed.

Nolo's Licensing Check

Attorneys have passed a licensing check. Nolo has confirmed that every member attorney has a valid license and is in good standing with the applicable bar associations upon joining the directory.

Directory lawyers are required to notify Nolo immediately if they become the subject of any disciplinary action by any bar association.
