EXPERIENCE
Retired Divorce Litigator, now, a Coach, Mediator and Arbitrator
Since 1984 I practiced exclusively as a family law lawyer. In December 2021, after I did my last trial, I retired from the practice of law.
Having been a child of divorce, a parent of divorced children and married to a divorced man with children, I decided I preferred to assist others going through difficult times by coaching, mediating or arbitrating any disputes, whether they be minor or significant.
COACH, MEDIATOR, ARBITRATOR
Since 1984 I have been involved in solving disputes in many ways. I have always viewed court as a last resort as it is unpredictable, costly and public.
