Divorce and Other Disasters

    Divorce is a difficult event in a anyone's life. It's the loss of something primal, and to many, sacred. It's no wonder that opposing parties literally want to leave the other destitute and in emotional pain. It's unfortunate because, no matter what happened, the fact is that at some point these two people loved each other. They enjoyed a life together. In many cases, they brought children into the world together.With so many shared and big life experiences, it's hard to accept it when it is over. It's heart-breaking.

     Every day, I listen to clients rage about their soon-to-be exes. The pain is palpable. I try to keep my emotional response in check and guide the client through the legal process as efficiently as possible. That's the only thing I can do to help clients move on with their lives. The legal process of divorce is another huge life experience, but it's done alone, with the exception of an attorney.

    As a family law attorney, I've seen the good, the bad and the ugly. I try to do the best, legally maneuvering to get what the clients are after. I'm all for presenting arguments aggressively to the Court but, on a personal level, I try my best to be the calm in the  middle of the storm - to be an effective counselor, as well as a lawyer.This is the best way to not only gain a strategic advantage in Court but also assist clients with the intangible issues and dilemmas that inevitably arise amid the emotional storm of a divorce.
