About this Member

I have practiced family law since 1991, and have witnessed first hand the financial and emotional impact that divorce litigation has. Collaborative Divorce provides an opportunity for divorcing couples to work cooperatively and creatively with one another and their mutually-selected professionals, to reach a respectful resolution of their divorce without going to court.
