A Harvard-educated
family law attorney
for everyone.

Most people facing divorce, custody, or support matters are forced to represent themselves. I built this practice to change that — with free consultations, payment plans, and limited-scope representation that meets you where you are.

How representation works

Three ways we can work together.

I.

Free consultation

We start with a conversation. No charge, no obligation. You leave understanding your options either way.

II.

Limited-scope

Hire me for a single hearing, motion, or filing. You handle what you can; I handle what you can't.

III.

Full representation

Soup-to-nuts handling — including payment plans designed around what your life can carry.

Practice areas

Family law, exclusively.

Family law is what I do, and what I do well. Concentration here means I know the local courts, the local judges, and the patterns that produce results.

From the firm
“No one should go without high-quality legal representation in something as important as a divorce, a custody dispute, or a support matter. If your case matters to you, we can figure out a way to make the finances work.
