Collaborative Divorce
Start a Divorce Case with the End in Mind
One reason I like Collaborative Divorce so much is that we begin the divorce case with an ideal outcome in mind.

Peacemaker Signature Reliable, Aware, Motivated
You want someone, like me, who is motivated on their own, someone you don’t have to babysit or watch over to move your case along.
Peacemaker Signature: Passionate
Passion is essential for practicing law. You must believe in that for which you argue, that for which you work hard every day to effect a positive outcome.

Peacemaker Signature: Compassion
When I feel something is necessary or right, I stay on it. I’m determined to compassionately represent my client, as far as I need to go to do so.
Peacemaker Signature Balance
