ADOPTION & SURROGACY

Understand your new rights and responsibilities to make the right decisions for the child.  An adoption attorney will draft and review contracts while working with the adopting and biological parents as they navigate the adoption process of a child or a step-child.

DIVORCE & CUSTODY

I help both parties identify, negotiate and come to mutually-acceptable agreement on the various issues and financial matters required to end their marriage out of court. I keep divorcing couples out of court, and their money in their kids college funds and their retirement funds.

PREMARITAL & POSTMARITAL AGREEMENTS

Marriage is usually one of the two most important legal decisions people make over their entire life; and almost always without consulting a lawyer or learning the law. Prenuptial planning also assists trust and estate planning, not just divorce.
