Maintaining control during divorce

After an extensive career as a litigator, I transformed my practice to Collaborative Law and Mediation because it became clear that true success required a better process. Genuine resolution should include the avoidance of antagonistic, combative (and costly) court processes. These can leave every participant, including the "winner," with lasting scars.

I’m here to help you face—and  clear—your obstacles with honesty, dignity and resolve.

If you cannot save the marriage, save the divorce.
