Q: What is the one thing that your clients should know about you?
A: Having practiced family law for more than 30 years, I have a keen understanding of the legal process. I care about the people I serve, and I try to educate them so they can make informed decisions about their future. When clients have an understanding of the law, it becomes a powerful tool in helping them manage expectations. For example, if a loving father fears losing access to a child or a devoted mother is anxious about having sufficient financial support to sustain the family, their lawyer must give a realistic appraisal of what can be done to fix their situation. Knowing how to listen is just as important as solving the problem. I am a great listener.
