My Approach to Family Law
I have established an approach that sets me apart from other Duchess County family law attorneys. My clients are at the heart of this approach, which is why I always strive to exceed expectations. I do so because I care about achieving the best results for my clients, but most importantly, because I care about my clients.

Accessibility & Communication Throughout Your Case
- I make a point of being available to my clients and regularly communicate with them regarding the status of their case and/or their concerns as they arise. I have found in having this type of relationship with my clients, it alleviates and/or reduces anxiety and involves my clients in the direction and ultimate resolution of their case.
Honesty First

I do not just tell you what you want to hear, but I will inform you of your rights and interests based upon the facts of your case, the law, and my experience before the courts.

I offer weekend appointments and work around my clients' schedule knowing how important job responsibilities and child care issues are for my clients. I am available to you. I handle all cases and work with each and every client on a one-on-one basis.
