“As a family law lawyer, I believe it is essential to advise people of their legal rights and obligations and assist them in resolving the issues arising as a result of their separation as quickly as possible. Because of the pressures that exist within a family on marriage breakdown, I endeavor to use all methods of dispute resolution with litigation as a last resort.”
