Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.

I was retained in a custody case where the parties had not reached an agreement and were litigating for more than 18 months. I was able to negotiate an amicable custody agreement and bring resolution to the case in less than a month.

How did you build a successful practice?

I have built a successful practice by treating my clients the way I would want to be treated under similar circumstances. I am hard working and responsive to my client's inquiries. I have had a successful track record bringing resolution to the majority of the cases I have been retained on.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

Honesty and Integrity. An attorney who zealously represents the interest of his/her client and fights for issues that are important to the client.

How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?

Very important to know the judges, local rules and family court facilitators in child custody matters. This local knowledge can make a difference in the approach the lawyer takes on specific issues involved in the case.

What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?

I can uncover the real issues in the case, and provide a road map of the necessary steps to take to bring about resolution in a cost effective and judicious manner.

What information do you need in a free phone consultation?

Date of Marriage, Date of Separation, Salaries/Pay of both parties, children and their date of birth. A thumbnail description of the assets in the marriage.

What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?

The most commented difference my clients tell me is my responsiveness. The second thing is my focus on the goals my client is seeking in the case. I focus on what is important to them and their goals for the case.

Understanding DUI Checkpoints in Pennsylvania: What You Need to Know
Driving under the influence (DUI) checkpoints are a common law enforcement tool used to catch impaired drivers before they can cause harm. However, many drivers in Pennsylvania may not fully understand their rights and responsibilities when encountering these checkpoints. If you or someone you know is facing DUI charges from a checkpoint stop, it’s crucial to know the law and how to protect yourself.
Will a speeding ticket in Pennsylvania affect my automobile insurance?
Receiving a speeding ticket in Pennsylvania can indeed impact your automobile insurance premiums. Insurance companies view speeding violations as indicators of increased risk, which often leads to higher rates. On average, Pennsylvanians may see their insurance premiums rise by approximately 19% following a speeding ticket. However, this percentage can vary based on factors such as the severity of the offense, your previous driving record, and the specific policies of your insurance provider.​
What Police Can't Make You Answer in a Traffic Stop in Pennsylvania
If you're pulled over by the police in Pennsylvania, it's important to know your rights. Many drivers feel pressure to answer every question or comply with every request, but the Constitution protects you from overreach. Here's what you are and aren't required to answer during a traffic stop in the Keystone State.
