My divorce and family law practice provides professional legal services with a sympathetic but objective approach. I understand the complexity and stress that comes with the breakdown of a marital relationship and seek to mitigate that by providing a framework for achieving a favorable outcome. I am committed to the best strategy to meet my client's goals.
In the context of family law I believe in negotiation and out-of-court settlement when possible, but I have no hesitation in taking a case to trial when that best serves my client's interests. I work closely with my clients to ensure they are well informed and prepared to make critical legal and business decisions that affect their future. I qualified as a lawyer in England and worked in the City of London before relocating to California in 1986.
I was certified by the State Bar of California in 1988 and have been practicing law for over 30 years. My legal experience and personal background give me perspective and ability to guide those confronted with complex international and expatriate issues, and to address the special needs of executive clients.
