Questions & Answers
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
I represented mother who was having marital difficulties with father. The parties had a two month old child who went to live with the paternal grandparents on a temporary basis in Virginia. When they refused to return the child to mother after she filed for divorce and custody in California where she, father and child had been residing, they filed and obtained a Guardianship in Virginia. After months of hearings in the California and Virginia courts, the Virginia court relinquished child custody jurisdiction to the California court.
How did you build a successful practice?
I built a successful practice by networking with other attorneys, volunteering as a mediator and judge pro-tem, and print and online advertising.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
Clients should evaluate an attorney by seeing who gives straight answers, not necessarily the answers they want to hear; is clear on billing practices; and who explains the law, court proceedings and how he/she plans to resolve the case.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?
An attorney who is familiar with local attorneys and judges always has the advantage. He/she will know which attorneys are trustworthy and how the judges normally rule on various issues.

In a free phone conversation, I can identify the issues and explain what needs to be done to resolve them.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?
In a free phone consultation, I need to know the immediate problems, and the client's goals.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?

Helping people obtain a fair resolution of their case.
