A New Chapter in My Practice

I’m now working full-time in legal academia.  Because my practice is intentionally limited, I am currently available by appointment only on Saturdays.

After almost 30 years of practicing family law, I have intentionally restructured my practice to focus on mediation and legal consulting. I no longer accept new litigation matters or serve as counsel of record in contested family law cases.

If you are facing a family law matter, I can help you understand your legal rights and options, evaluate your circumstances, prepare for negotiations or mediation, review legal documents, and develop a thoughtful strategy for moving your matter forward.

I also offer prenuptial agreement services for couples who want experienced family law counsel as they prepare for marriage and navigate important financial and legal decisions together.

Although I no longer accept litigation matters, my decades of experience in family law litigation allow me to offer valuable perspective as you assess your options and prepare for resolution. If your circumstances require ongoing litigation representation, I can also help you understand what to look for in an attorney who can take your case forward.

To make the process as convenient and comfortable as possible, all consultations, client meetings, and mediation sessions are conducted exclusively through secure video conference or by telephone. This virtual model eliminates unnecessary travel, traffic, and parking while allowing us to meet privately from wherever you are.

Because my practice is entirely virtual, we do not maintain a public office or walk-in location. All meetings are by appointment only. If you require accessibility accommodations for a remote meeting, please let us know in advance so we can make sure you are able to participate comfortably.

Divorce Mediation

If both spouses are interested in resolving their case through mediation, we are happy to offer a
complimentary 15-minute mediation orientation to explain the process and answer general questions.

Please note that mediation is voluntary and requires both parties to participate willingly.  As a neutral mediator, we cannot encourage or persuade the other party to mediate.  If your spouse is reluctant, you may find our article on discussing mediation with a reluctant spouse helpful.

Prenuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement is a proactive way to protect your separate assets, clarify financial expectations, and establish clear terms before marriage. We can assist you with drafting a comprehensive agreement tailored to your specific goals or review an agreement presented by your partner’s counsel.

To ensure validity under California law, both parties must provide full financial disclosures and have ample time to review the terms. If you are ready to protect your future, please reach out to schedule an initial consultation through our intake system.

Looking for General Information?

If you’re still in the research stage, we encourage you to explore our extensive library of free family law articles.  Many common questions are answered in our searchable blog, which is updated regularly to educate and serve the public.

Please remember that blog articles are intended for general educational purposes only.  They are not legal advice.

Legal advice can only be provided after an attorney has reviewed the specific facts and circumstances of your case during a consultation.
