My Pledge To You

This may be your first divorce or family law conflict involving children of the marriage. Not mine. You may well be under emotional stress. I take pride in remaining objective and achieving pragmatic solutions for my clients. I will never deign to act as your therapist or spiritual adviser. Nor will I judge you or second-guess your values.

What I will pledge is to dedicate my skills, energy and professional judgment to protecting your interests and achieving the best outcome.

I will stay objective and set rational expectations. I will not entertain or accommodate unrealistic or unnecessary conflict. If there is a dispute with the other side, I will effectively and aggressively advocate for you, and I will do so strategically. When Court appearances are required you will be well prepared and you will respect my expertise and versatility in the Court room.

Dispute resolution in the context of a divorce assignment is often like a chess game, which is also zero sum exercize. Think of me as a devoted grandmaster, who studies the chess board and does not prolong the process to generate more legal fees.
