As a collaborative lawyer and mediator, I help clients resolve their marriages in a way which serves their future life goals and those of the entire family unit.  I have long been an advocate and practitioner of settlement processes in family disputes. My goal is to help clients achieve amicable resolutions through mutual problem solving and respectful discourse with as much economy and as little acrimony as possible. After more than twenty-three years of experience as a family lawyer, both in and out of court, I now limit my practice to the areas of collaborative law, mediation and uncontested divorce.

I have been a member of the New Jersey Association of Professional Mediators, an Accredited Mediator in the area of family and divorce law for approximately 13 years and a co-founder and President of the recently formed Mid-Jersey Collaborative Law Alliance serving primarily Mercer, Middlesex and Somerset Counties (www.mjcla.org). My participation in this group gives me the opportunity to work with a wonderful group of family law lawyers, mental health professionals, financial specialists and other allied professionals who are similarly dedicated to the promotion of out of court settlement of family law matters and divorce with dignity.

I consider it a privilege and a pleasure to have the opportunity to use my legal knowledge and mediation skills to assist my clients in resolving their personal situations so that they are able to maintain the best of the past and to go forward into their future lives with strength, optimism and security. It is my commitment to provide my services in an environment which is peaceful and private and which is conducive to fostering the open and respectful communication necessary to bring about a mutually acceptable resolution for all involved.
