​​​​​​​Divorce can be a traumatic and life-changing event and has been compared to the death of a loved one. In time, though, you can emerge from it and may even find that your life (and the lives of your children and even your former spouse) changed for the better.
An important first step is having an attorney who has your family's best interests at heart. My firm makes every effort to minimize the cost and disruption to your life and your children’s lives, and I work with the other spouse and their attorney to settle divorces as fairly and amicably as possible.
Family Law
​​​​​​​It is a fact of life that divorce is all too common for those in the Emergency Services professions. Job stresses, shift work, and the nature of the profession can all take a toll on a marriage. At times like these you need someone who understands the unique demands of public service to protect your rights to your salary, your pension and benefits, and your rights to parenting time with your children. I have been through it myself and know what you are experiencing.​​​​​​​

How I Am Uniquely Positioned To Represent
You Through Your Divorce
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​My firm handles dissolution of marriage, parenting time (which used to be called custody), division of property and debt, spousal maintenance, child support, separation agreements, and the full range of considerations that come with a divorce.
Who you choose to represent you during your divorce can have a huge impact on the outcome of your case. As a former police officer I have first-hand experience with the demands of shift work and, more importantly, the legal intricacies of FPPA, the Firefighter and Police Pension Association, which are things few other attorneys understand. In my practice I have had to educate other attorneys and even judges on how FPPA works. The retirement and benefits that you worked hard for are for your future. Protect them with an attorney who understands them and knows how to position your case for a fair and reasonable outcome. ​​​​​​​
