How 18+ Years Experience Shaped this Family Lawyer’s Perspective:
After years of experience practicing as an attorney in Lynchburg, I recently found myself at a crossroad. Constant litigation, though rewarding, brought stress and burnout. Seeking balance, I took some time away to take a personal inventory and reevaluate my goals and interests, both personally and as a family law attorney.
Discarding my experience wasn’t the answer. Instead, I saw an opportunity to help clients differently. Embracing mindfulness and clarity, I now focus on:
- Uncontested Divorces: Streamlining your divorce with understanding and efficiency.
- Legal Agreements: Crafting tailored Virginia separation agreements and prenuptial agreements.
- Early Intervention: Guiding you before emotions escalate, minimizing future complications.
My goal is to empower you from the outset, helping you navigate divorce with dignity and practicality.
How will your experience be different if we work together to solve your divorce or family law issues?
This is not a large firm experience. You will work directly with me and be able to contact me directly anytime day or night.
- Personalized Approach: You’re not just a case number. I take the time to understand your unique circumstances and goals.
- Transparent Fees: No hidden costs or surprise bills. Flat fees for uncontested divorces and clear estimates for litigated cases.
- Compassionate Support: I recognize the emotional weight of family law matters. I’m here to help you navigate this journey with empathy and understanding.

Selective, Personalized Representation for Complex Divorce and Family Law Cases
- Limited Litigation Services Offered: Unlike many other lawyers, I take a selective approach to divorce and family law cases. I only accept litigated cases I believe I can effectively advocate for, aligning with my expertise and values. Experience taught me that not every case is a good fit.
- Boutique Approach: When litigation is necessary, I provide personalized attention, transparent fees, and human understanding. I carefully select cases to ensure you receive my full commitment and expertise.
Why this approach after 15+ years experience as a divorce attorney?
- Limiting my caseload helps me prioritize a healthy work-life balance. Effective divorce advocacy requires a lot of thought and focus, which is taxing. By managing a limited group of active cases, I can fully immerse myself in your unique situation and prioritize achieving your goals.
- By prioritizing a healthy work-life balance, I ensure I bring my sharpest focus and energy to every case I take on, ultimately benefiting my clients with the best possible representation. My family appreciates it too.
My goal is to provide the highest quality work for reasonable fees, whether a simple uncontested divorce or litigation involving millions, not just churning out cases. Seeing families emerge less burdened after navigating difficult times or successfully tackling an especially complex issue is what truly drives me.
Here are a few other things you should know about how my family law practice works:
- I work primarily from my home office, leveraging technology to streamline things and cut down on unnecessary costs.
- Informal, easy to use, confidential and secure chat spaces are utilized daily and meetings are held via video-conference or phone unless in-person is necessary.
- Don’t expect a suit and tie unless we’re in court. In fact, if I am not in court then I will be wearing 1 of 10 identical blue-oxford shirts I own and the sleeves will be rolled up. Life is too short for excessive formality when there is important work to do.
Why? Because fancy offices and formal wear translate to higher fees for you, the client. And let’s be honest, those things are primarily ego-boosters in the digital age.
