I started my legal career as a Public Defender with the philosophy that legal advice and zealous advocacy should be accessible to everyone.
Early on in my career, I became very comfortable in the courtroom and adopted a “Nolle Pros or Not Guilty” approach when the prosecution left my clients with no other options.
Once Prosecutors saw we were serious about litigating, they suddenly become more willing to negotiate on future cases.
As a former Public Defender, I have learned to figure out my clients’ priorities early in order to tailor our desired outcomes to those priorities. If you can review a case for the first time with the end goals already in mind, then you can develop legal strategies sooner.
Today, I transfer those skills to the practice of family law. I take an intentional approach to communication by breaking down complex legal concepts into more digestible terms in order to better explain litigation strategies. It’s often easy and very tempting to get lost in the weeds when fighting the small battles along the way. I try to keep my clients oriented on our end goals by reminding them to keep the big picture in mind and not to lose sight of the forest for the trees.
If you want an attorney who will be transparent, strategic, and aggressive when necessary, it would be my honor to represent you in your family law case.
