DOMESTIC LITIGATION
I represent clients in all facets of domestic litigation, including: divorce, child custody, visitation, support, and division of assets. Sometimes it feels like I have seen it all, but each new case presents unique challenges. I take a businesslike approach to the tasks at hand and invest my enthusiasm into the spirit of the case.
TRAFFIC: DUI’S
I specialize in representing clients that are facing DUI charges. I have become one of the attorneys to go see if you have been charged with a DUI – Montgomery County’s go-to DUI Attorney.
