Biography
I am often asked, "Why are you a divorce lawyer?" The answer – I get great satisfaction from seeing how well my clients are doing at the end of their case versus when we first met. Facilitating that transition and growth, while challenging, is the most gratifying part of my job.
The follow-up question is often: "What prepared you most to be a Family Law attorney?" Ironically, the answer lies not in court but rather on a court – a tennis court! Besides being a highly competitive tennis player, the sport taught me discipline, strategy, and the ability to perform under pressure – all skills that translate directly into the practice of family law.
