About Company

We are focused on empowering our clients to resolve their family conflict problems. We exist to help them understand the future they want to build, and then use our skills and experience to help them plan their path and to help them implement it.

We understand that our clients don't come to us with legal problems. They are experiencing personal conflict. Yes, their problems likely have an intersection with the law, which is why we’re the right team to help them. But that isn’t the totality of their problem … so it's not the end of how we serve our clients.

We began our work in Family Law in 2004, and we believe that serving our clients means understanding their needs before engaging in any legal process. Our clients team up with us to build their futures ... and we take that responsibility very seriously.
