Top Rated Family Law Attorney in Towson, MD

I embrace an advocacy and business model that focuses on zealous client representation that is tailored to the individual client's needs and goals. I wholeheartedly reject a "one-size-fits-all" approach to advocacy and problem solving for the client: it is not about just applying the law to the facts of the client's case, but understanding the client's issue from the personal, financial and practical perspectives. Effective problem solving is a holistic process. I just as actively serve as a litigator on behalf of my clients, as I seek solutions through peaceful and efficient forms of alternative dispute resolution.I bring a diverse professional background to my practice which allows me to advocate in a versatile manner for my clients. I have actively litigated in the areas of family law, domestic violence, consumer rights, public benefits on behalf of the disabled and indigent and consumer interests. I have also represented children as a best interest attorney and child's advocate. Additionally, I have actively represented commercial clients in civil matters. My background also includes practice in the realm of criminal law, as an assistant state's attorney. In addition to my litigation practice, I am a trained collaborative law practitioner, which I offer as an effective alternative to litigation that aims to protect the parties' interests while preserving family continuity. I am also a trained mediator. For nearly 15 years, I have taught writing on the college level and for 5 years I taught writing and oral advocacy as an adjunct writing professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law.
