I have practiced family law for over twenty-five years. I am a solo practitioner who personally handles all my cases, so you will have an experienced attorney represent you. I represent men and women in cases involving divorce, child custody and visitation, and child and spousal support. I serve as a mediator or attorney in collaborative divorce for parties who prefer to work together to resolve their issues in a non-litigious manner. I have negotiated many Pre-Marital Agreements as well as Marital Settlement Agreements.

If the matter is contested, I can help you both as a litigator and a negotiator. I try to resolve matters so that my client will be satisfied not only immediately, but also in the long run. I help my clients resolve their matters by retaining their dignity as well as their assets. I also want them to be able to dance at their childrens weddings.

I have regularly volunteered in the Alameda County family law community, including serving as a temporary judge when the regular judge cannot serve.

If you have any questions, please call me at (510) 763-5611 to discuss them. I set up all my own appointments after talking with the client.
