You don’t need another fight. You need a fair settlement.

​

After 24 years in the trenches of family law, I’ve helped thousands of spouses navigate their divorce, but I’ve also seen what the system can do to good people. These are not proud stories of a caring resolution process.  Rather, these are stories filled with acrimony and tribulation resulting in your stereotypical bloodbath divorce often whispered between friends, neighbors, and co-workers.

​

If you found this website, you are either contemplating a divorce, or in the midst of what could be a horrible chapter in your life. It doesn't have to be that way. I created this website to assist you to avoid the nightmare scenario and to protecting your future, your family, your finances, and your sanity.

​

People enter a divorce often wanting revenge, validation, and often for an expeditious exit.  A common problem is that most spouses and often their lawyers don't know how to avoid combative (and expensive) litigation.

 

A Divorce without Damage

 

​What lawyers tend to to be shy about, is that they know if your divorce is not handled well, it may put you into bankruptcy. They avoid discussions about fees or the reality of cost.  They are afraid if they talk about the cost, you may not retain their services. Not until later, you'll see the fees creep higher until you will be force you to settle where and when you shouldn't, leaving you without options and disenchanted with the process and the Court system, and at the same time, hating lawyers. A divorce without damage can be your reality with the right research and the right lawyer.

 

Avoid a Bloodbath Divorce

​

I have watched nightmarish cases in the Court system over and over, and unfortunately, I was part of that system for years until I figured out it didn't have to be that way.​ I’ve been a divorce lawyer for over 24 years, but I’ve also spent much of that time questioning the system I work in. I believe divorce doesn’t have to destroy people. My goal is to help you move forward with clarity and strength, and most importantly without unnecessary conflict.

​

I'm not just a divorce lawyer, I'm a fixer. And here's what makes me different than others:

​

• ​I have over two decades of time tested methods to manage divorce crisis and provide people with strategic approaches to every problem a divorce can throw at you.​ I know the shortcuts that save time and money.

​

• I have won custody for clients in the most dire of circumstances. This often does not require expensive litigation, but rather just knowing how to change the optics and perceptions of the case.

​

• Consistently, I receive calls from spouses who did not hire me, and telling me that they should have hired me and can I now fix their case. Sometime I can, sometimes I can't. Timing is crucial so call me ASAP if your case is going sideways or you had a bad day in Court.

​

• I have dedicated my office to provide what I call "low-bono" representation, which is not free but discounted and more affordable.

​

• Other Lawyers have used my services to help with difficult cases. Under most circumstances, I can fix litigation problems and hang-ups preventing a settlement.​​

​

• I have a solid history of being able to convince the appellate court to reverse bad days in Court.  This isn't magic or a measure of intellect; simply, I know how to identify procedural mishaps in the case and avoid appeals that try to turn the appeal process into another trial, which is always a losing batting.
