    General Comments
    Realizing that I am by nature a problem solver, in 1992 I designed my law practice to focus on resolution of family matters, rather than litigation. Since that time, I have mediated hundreds of divorce cases, served as a guardian ad litem in an attempt to assist in the resolution of custody disputes, and I am now an advocate for collaborative practice and a collaborative law practitioner.
