Taking an Objective Look
Family law and Bankruptcy issues are often very stressful. It is natural to want to make decisions based on the emotions you are feeling right now. However, if your lawyer becomes caught up in the emotional aspect of your case, the results can be disastrous.
Taking an objective approach, I will explore all of your legal options and help you make decisions that will protect your interests in the long‑term. It is almost always better to reach a cooperative solution with the other party than to fight in court. I will keep every option open and work hard to meet your family's needs in negotiation, mediation or litigation. I will inform you of all your option to solve your financial needs.
Over 30 Years of Family Law Experience
I began practicing in 1974 and family law and bankruptcy in 1977, and have continued to guide families to positive solutions in divorce and bankruptcy. In 1993, I was Certified as Specialist in Family Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization. I have extensive family law experience and have received favorable feedback from local attorneys and judges.
