National Media Attention

I represented the mother in a child custody battle that had allegedly abducted her child to an Indian Reservation in Canada and was portrayed on national t.v. on the show Unsolved Mysteries.

Our Philosophy

I believe that through hard work and dedication anything can be accomplished. My philosophy in life is to break things down (cases, marathons) into its subparts (i.e. motions, miles) and conquer each part of the puzzle before conquering the whole.

My motto is: Pain is temporary, Pride is Forever.
