Whether working as a mediator or as an attorney, I work to empower individuals and families who desire to find fair and sustainable solutions to complex family transitions, conflicts, and legal issues. Some representative types of issues include mediated divorce, collaborative divorce, elder law, estate planning, probate administration, prenuptial agreements, adoptions, name changes, adult guardianships, issues related to mental illness, and protection of long term but non-married partners.
