Meet Your Dedicated Legal Advocate

Since 1978, I have been providing legal guidance to the people of the Greater Cleveland Area with a commitment to honest analysis and passionate defense. I established my practice in 1988, focusing on family law while continuing my extensive work in professional ethics.

I have served on the Cuyahoga County Bar Association and the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association’s Certified Grievance Committee for more than 25 years, investigating claims of ethical violations and representing the bar associations in grievance matters before the Ohio Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court.

I decided to be a lawyer at the tender age of four. My unwavering dedication to this dream has fueled my passion for law, whether in professional ethics, family law, civil rights litigation, estate planning, or public policy.

I bring more than four decades of courtroom experience to every case, whether it involves family law matters or ethics issues. I champion resolutions through formal collaborative processes or informal settlement negotiations, recognizing that these methods are often faster, less expensive, and less stressful for all parties involved. Unlike others who merely claim to practice collaborative law, I am genuinely dedicated to these litigation alternatives, ensuring the best outcomes for my clients.
