Child Custody

I am an experienced attorney at law with a proven track record. I will help you create a custody agreement that is fair and just to everyone involved.

Visitation

I can handle grandparent, stepparent, and extended family member visitations. I am also experienced in handling agency, stepparent, and private adoptions, and the termination of parental rights cases.

Parenting Plans

I am a family attorney experienced in child custody agreements and parenting plans. At times it can be difficult to decide on the best agreement for you and your children, so I’ll help make this process easier for you.

Mediation & Arbitration

These alternative dispute resolution tools give divorcing couples the opportunity to end things outside of the courtroom through simpler and less procedurally stringent negotiations.

Prenuptial and Cohabitation Agreements

Many people want to protect their assets before entering a legally recognized relationship. As an experienced attorney, I can help you draft a prenuptial agreement or a cohabitation agreement.

Child
Custody

Custody cases are difficult, emotional and taxing on the client.

From my perspective as the attorney, they demand attention “out-of-the-gate" because the court’s initial decisions regarding child placement and visitation can be difficult to modify down the road. Accordingly, it’s essential to put our best foot forward by providing the court at the outset with, among other things, the following:

  • A clear understanding of the historical roles of each parent as it pertains to the children involved
  • The parents’ respective work schedules
  • The perspectives of third parties who know the parents and the children
  • Why our client’s proposal is ultimately in the children’s best interests
