Family Law

If you’re facing the emotional prospect of divorce, legal separation, child support, spousal support, or another family law matter, you deserve to work with a compassionate and dedicated family law attorney who will listen to your needs. I’m here to help you find a healthy way of achieving your goals and moving forward with confidence.

Estate Planning

Protecting your legacy for future generations with an enforceable will or trust is important. I can also help you establish a power of attorney to ensure that your healthcare wishes will be known and respected in the event of your incapacitation. If you have questions regarding the probate process, I can provide knowledgeable and efficient representation to protect your rights and interests.

A Different Kind of Attorney

As a native of North Carolina, I have a “hunger for justice” and strive to provide my clients with compassionate and practical legal solutions. After graduating from Northeastern University School of Law in Boston, I eventually returned to North Carolina to launch my own practice in 1994.
