Divorce is one of the most traumatic events in a person's life. It is important during this life altering process, to be informed of your rights and to have competent legal representation. I am a divorce lawyer practicing California divorce law and will ensure that you are able to make the best of a bad situation in a cost effective manner. Although these proceedings are never pleasant, my goal is to work with you to achieve a resolution of all issues and to minimize your emotional and financial damage.

I strive to eliminate a client's fear and anxiety by explaining the effects of divorce, the client's rights and the options available to each client. I have the reputation of being sensitive to my client's feelings and needs and helping them to move through this most challenging period of their lives so that they may begin a new life. I encourage and assist clients in avoiding litigation and settling issues with the opposing party, if possible, to avoid excessive and unnecessary legal costs. However, if the situation calls for it I will vigorously defend your rights and protect your interests.

Consultation with an attorney prior to filing for divorce is imperative. It is important to know your rights and options before you take any action. Early planning can determine how a case will proceed. I have extensive experience working in San Diego divorce, child custody and other family law matters. I will assert your rights in an articulate, organized and aggressive manner consistent with California Family Law.
