What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
I believe that when clients educate themselves about the legal issues, they feel empowered and more confident in making decisions.
Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?
I am willing to review documents prepared by clients.
Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?
I am willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves.
Why did you decide to be a lawyer?
Initially, I wanted to help people by representing them in court proceedings. Over the years, I have learned that mediation is a more effective and efficient way to resolve conflicts.
What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?
My years of litigation experience and many hours of conflict resolution training help me to be a better mediator.
Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?
My primary area of expertise is Family Law. Litigation can lead to "winners" and "losers", which can be particularly problematic when children are involved and parties need to communicate in order to co-parent. In mediation, people can find resolutions which honor all parties.
What do you like best about your career?
I like best helping parties reach a resolution that they feel is workable and acceptable.
Tell us about your law firm:
I am a sole practitioner, and the client will always talk to me.
What are your strengths and style?
I have strong communication and analytical skills and more than 20 years in family law and mediation.
Using a structured process, I help parties to better hear and understand each other. As a result, there is a greater sense of confidence, fairness and commitment to resolutions.
Personal Interests:
I enjoy my family, yoga, and hiking.
