Lawyer

I opened my solo law practice in 2007 and have offices in Santa Barbara, Hollister, and Three Rivers where I am available for online or in person consultations by appointment only. My practice focuses on solution-oriented family law and estate planning, including mediation and collaborative approaches. My background in economics and business consulting gives me an enhanced understanding and ability to deal with complex financial issues, while my education and professional experience in organizational behavior and human performance give me the skillset to effectively participate in the collaborative process.

Comments

By focusing on full information, open communication, and the interests of everyone involved, parties participating in the collaborative process can use their divorce or other legal issue as a springboard to begin the next chapter of their lives from a position of knowledge and strength.
