Ending a marriage or relationship is a painful decision but it doesn't have to be a painful process. My law practice emphasizes collaborative divorce solutions. I bring my life experience as a divorced parent to legal options that address my clients' desire to keep cost and contention at a manageable level. Services include cooperative approach in a traditional process, help for do-it-yourselfers, and collaborative law - an approach where identified goals are addressed with a respectful, cooperative exchange which allows the participants to move forward without destruction of either party or their ongoing parental relationship.

I also prepare estate planning documents which include wills, health care directives, health care powers of attorney, and durable powers of attorney. [less]
