We handle all aspects of family law matters. So from dissolution – that would include property division, obviously spousal support. And then if you have kids, child custody and child support. We also do paternity proceedings or parentage proceedings. We consult with people who are going through mediation as an alternative dispute resolution for their matter. So pretty much all of that, the full gamut of family law.

Bob and I have decided to merge forces in family law vis-à-vis he is of counsel to my firm. And what that means is I bring him in on cases where I think that his expertise and experience of 40-plus year litigation could really be an asset to my clients. He is also very strategic. So on cases where I think that he can add to the analysis of the case, maybe see something different that I haven’t seen, I like to bring him in for that purpose. He’s very well-liked by my clients and very respected by opposing counsel and the court. So I really have a great working relationship with him. I am very happy that he’s a part of my team.

The relationship that Robyn and I have engaged in is unique. We are two separate offices, but we are of counsel to one another, which means when I need Roby to help me, she is available, and vice versa. We divide up our work with our specialties. Robyn is an extremely capable legal writer and researcher. My specialty is going to trial and taking cases through to a judgement. So we combine our two skills. And I think the most unique thing about us is if somebody ran into us on the street and asked what’s going on with their case, we’d be able to tell them because we are hands-on with our clients. We do not delegate things to other lawyers as sometimes occurs in family law.

The most rewarding aspect of my practice to me is taking a client from the very beginning of their case where they’re filled with fear and questions – they have no idea what they’re going through, what to do, what step to put in front of the next, how to organize their case, how to analyze it, what they’re going to expect at the end – and walking them through the entire process. Helping them do this major life transition and hopefully come out on the end of it much better off, which I believe they ultimately will be. And I can see that from the beginning. So I also love reassuring them that there is a life after this. That it will look different, but once a divorce is over, theoretically hopefully they will be much happier than they are kind of going through the process. It’s a messy process, but that’s where I come into play, to demystify, to simplify things for clients, to help them strategically make good decisions for their future. I love doing that. And I love concluding cases for people. A lot of people come to me that their divorce has been going on for years and they just can’t finish it for whatever reason. So one of the great joys for me is finishing, concluding things for a client and helping them move on to their next phase of life.
