I began my legal career as a court reporter more than 25 years ago and participated in thousands of hearings, depositions and trials in criminal, probate and civil litigation cases before becoming an attorney in 2007. My passion for hard work has carried over into my legal career, and I don’t shy away from challenges. I enjoy being a part of a service-oriented profession. I am licensed to practice law in Massachusetts and Florida and am a member of the Massachusetts Council on Family Mediation, Inc. I have earned my J.D. degree from the New England School of Law and a B.A. degree from Notre Dame College, cum laude. Currently, my practice is focused on all matters related to family law, including contested and uncontested divorce, child support, child custody, alimony and property division. I am a seasoned and precise litigator who is extremely comfortable in the courtroom. I also, however, recognize the role and value of family law mediation and act as a neutral third party for divorcing couples who are looking to reach an agreement on their dissolution without the time and expense of court. I represent clients in the Metro Boston area and throughout eastern Massachusetts, covering all of Middlesex, Essex and Suffolk counties. When I’m not working, I’m enjoying time with my family and singing, playing guitar and writing music. As someone who values their family relationships very much, I understand the emotional nature of family law matters and the challenges these issues can present. I’m known to be a tenacious and caring advocate who listens to the needs of my clients and goes above and beyond to secure positive results.
