History
My parents' divorce taught me many of the pitfalls of a divorce case. I learned how wrenching a divorce can be on all parties involved, from both parents to the children. Thirty years of marriage t showed me the difficulties in that arise in staying married. Law is my second career. Working as a journalist in Washington, D.C., introduced me to the complexities of the law. Several years later, now living in Los Angeles, I graduated from Loyola Law School and passed the bar. After working for other firms for a few years, I opened my own family law firm in 2002.
