Retirement Plan Division:
Before I was an attorney, I worked for a benefit consulting firm and learned the ins and outs of ERISA and retirement plans. I have used that experience to help my clients get through the complex issue of dividing retirement plans in divorce. I'd love to help you, whether you need to negotiate the best settlement, litigate a dispute or draft the orders you need to get what you deserve!
Pre-/Post-nuptial Agreements:
I have years of experience helping my clients understand how best to protect assets when getting married.
Drafting/Reviewing Settlement or Contract Documents
I was an English major and love to make sure contracts and settlement are free from loopholes. I understand divorce, parenting and other contracts and can help you make sure your contract or agreement is the best for you!
