Lawyers have considerable power to right wrongs and change lives. My attraction to law first arose from a keen interest in history, debate and communications. Also, when young, I learned that the most meaningful and satisfying careers are those in which practitioners have the chance to help other people. The legal profession provides limitless opportunities to achieve this goal because it touches every one of our human interactions. Since skillful lawyers truly can influence outcomes to help people blindsided by life’s problems, I think I made an extremely good choice.
Our statewide litigation law firm regularly represents individuals in wrongful death, personal injury and medical malpractice claims and also assists state and national Fortune 500 corporations in intricate corporate and insurance matters. Our focus is litigation and trial work so we also frequently help people resolve sophisticated and complex family law matters, including divorce, child custody, paternity and adoption.
High Stakes Case
Our willingness to pursue trial ensures that our clients’ goals are not compromised by the process. Divorce contests are lawsuits at heart so we strive to provide benefit of litigation skills gleaned from years of statewide practice to these important cases. Although most cases settle out of court they often settle best when prepared for trial.

My Advice
Plan for success: In this economy, it’s crucial to extract your full legal share of marital resources. After truly investing in marriage, deep loss and anger may tempt you to just end it as soon as possible. Consider spending equal time planning your new life as you did planning for your married life; focus on maximizing resources towards your future.
