My 43 years of family law practice led to the inescapable conclusion that divorce is a transition into a new life, and the focus on the participants needs to be about their future, as opposed to fighting over the past. The majority of the concerns and issues facing a client in divorce are not legal. The parties - especially those with children- need to resolve their differences in a manner that allows them to maintain as amicable of a relationship as possible to allow future interaction to be pleasant. They need guidance and privacy. Collaborative law provides same, minimizes cost and allows the parties to fashion a resolution that is best for their unique situation. I have extensive experience in all types of family law cases. I also have extensive experience in civil litigation involving complex property and business disputes, personal injury and constitutional rights. Such provides me a broad perspective of possible issues and resolutions of the variety of issues facing our clients. It also affords me the insight to realize that the limitations of traditional litigation renders it wholly inadequate to effectively and constructively help parties move forward in life. I also have the luxury of being able to work with my wife and son as my law partners to provide our clients an even more unique and insightful representation.
