Our Approach

Are experienced, knowledgeable, and hard-working

Between the two of us, we have nearly 30 years of experience representing people going through divorce. We believe careful preparation and attention to detail is the bedrock of effective representation. We regularly attend legal seminars and study changes in the law to keep abreast of the latest development. We thoroughly investigate the facts of your case, and we make sure we know the strengths and weaknesses of your case so that we can advise you and advocate for you effectively.

Advocate skillfully and effectively for you

Excellent communication skills, solid preparation, and a thorough knowledge of your case and your opposing party’s case are the foundation of effective advocacy. Advocacy includes understanding the interests and goals of your opposing party, and being able to use that knowledge to reach a win-win resolution. Years of experience and training have honed our negotiating skills, and we pride ourselves on our ability to achieve excellent negotiated outcomes for our clients. When negotiations are not successful, we are experienced trial attorneys who have a proven track record in the courtroom, and we’ll fight hard to protect you.

Choose strategies that save you time and money

We know that you want to make sure your funds are used wisely and effectively. Before taking each step in the representation of our clients, we consider the costs and benefits. Experience has taught us which approaches are more or less likely to bring us closer to the outcome you want, and we are constantly evaluating whether the decisions we make will further your ultimate goals. We look at the cost, the time it will take, and whether it will bring us closer to our desired outcome. We discuss the options with you so you can decide whether the cost is worth the potential benefit.

Explain the law and the legal process

Not knowing what to expect is one of the greatest stressors in the divorce process. We think it’s important for you to know what the law is and what you can expect from the process. Armed with that information, you are in a much better position to make sound, informed decisions and to be more at ease with the process.

Make ourselves available in person, by phone and email

We know it’s important for our clients to be able to reach us or meet with us when questions arise or new developments occur. We make every effort to be readily available when you have concerns and questions. We have trained staff available to assist you at times when we cannot personally respond, and we are always available for a follow-up conversation if our staff members cannot address your concern.

Understand your unique needs and goals

Knowing the law is critical, but we believe it is equally important to understand your goals and priorities. Every client is an individual, and every family law case is unique. We take the time to get to know you and understand what you want to achieve. We will also thoroughly educate ourselves about the legal issues that are pertinent to your case. That way, we can tailor the representation to your needs, and we can be sure to address all of the issues that will be important to protecting your legal rights.
