He works tirelessly to ensure that his clients not only survive but thrive before, during and after their work together through his honesty, directness, and personal compassion for his clients and their families.

He's an attorney who has the professional expertise and the personal connection to the experience of divorce that is essential to getting clients through this difficult time.
