"I understand what it is like to go through this process by virtue of living through my own parents' divorce. That, more than anything, made me conscious that representing clients requires not simply a mastery of the law, but the ability to not only hear but really listen. I strive to blend my knowledge of the law with superior communication skills to achieve the best possible results for my clients."
