    I recognize the interplay of the legal, financial, and emotional aspects of divorce. So I strive to minimize your stress in making those tough decisions, in an informal yet structured environment allowing for creative decisions. Divorce shouldn’t be strictly a legalistic process, but rather one of negotiation with compassion. [Free consultation.]
