General Info

In trying to reach optimal outcomes for our clients, we diligently pay attention to the process. We believe in reaching solutions through discussion, negotiation and, when appropriate, creativity and compromise. We know that legal proceedings can be a stressful and potentially expensive undertaking; therefore we strive to reach solutions that consider not only the needs and goals of the parties, but also the costs, both financial and emotional. While we encourage and promote reasonable and cost-effective settlement solutions, we know that sometimes a cooperative resolution is not attainable. In those circumstances, we have the skills and experience to efficiently advocate our clients' interests at every phase of a legal proceeding. We bring a heightened sensitivity to family law matters, keeping in mind that divorce and civil dissolutions have the potential to become more acrimonious than other kinds of civil litigation. While advocating for the best interests of our clients, we also stress the benefits of an outcome that will preserve, rather than damage, relationships between parties who will continue as parents beyond their divorce or dissolution, and that will protect the relationship between the parents and their children. In matters involving real estate, our goal is to ensure that transactions occur efficiently and cost-effectively. We are also available to draft leases, contracts, and commercial documents for individuals and small businesses.
