Client Testimonials

…Your practical and down to earth common sense kept me on track. That is so helpful in divorce, because it is easy to become emotionally stressed so that you lose a sense of proportion. The outcome I have for myself…is everything I could have asked for under the circumstances. I am so happy now to go forward onto a better future…
