Attorney Profile

Experienced and Dedicated Family Law Attorney in Washington, DC.

Walking Conn Avenue Washington DC

Divorce is an incredibly difficult time. I provide personalized attention to each of my clients and try to help alleviate some of the stress and anxiety that can come along with the legal process.

If you are working toward a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement, I am very cognizant of the fact that you and your partner are able to work well together to reach an Agreement that works for both of you.

My hope is that after speaking with me you will know that if I represent you, I will be responsive to your needs, listen to your concerns, answer all of your questions, and always be straightforward and honest with you about your situation and possible resolution.

Creative Solutions to your Negotiated Settlements in Washington, DC.

I focus on creative solutions to attempt to reach a negotiated settlement. I write detailed agreements that speak to all of the issues. This is true whether it is a Marital Settlement Agreement, a Parenting plan, a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement or any other agreement that I write.

I approach every situation with empathy and care and treat my clients and opposing counsel with respect. I truly understand that reaching out to an attorney can cause anxiety and be a bit overwhelming. My goal is to set your mind at ease. I dedicate my work to providing you with sound guidance but I will always leave the decision-making to you. The best outcome is one in which you have the support and knowledge of a dedicated attorney who understands that you must decide your own future. I will guide you by responding to your questions and concerns and work vigorously to achieve a fair result.

Reach out to me to discuss what your specific needs are and you can see if my approach is the right one for your situation. In our first conversation both you and I will have a good sense of whether I am the right family law attorney to advise and represent you.
