Family law matters are never just legal problems. If you are facing divorce, a child custody dispute, or questions about support and property, you are navigating one of the most stressful periods of your life. You deserve an advocate who understands what is at stake – not only in court, but in your home, your finances, and your future.
I’ve experienced the challenges of family court both as an attorney and in my own life. That firsthand experience gives me unique insight into what you’re going through and drives my commitment to protect your interests every step of the way.
Areas Served: I represent clients throughout Jefferson County, Island County and Clallam County, Washington – including Port Townsend, Port Hadlock, Coupeville, Oak Harbor, Sequim, Port Angeles, and surrounding communities.
A Strategic, Solutions-Focused Approach
Whenever possible, I encourage a cooperative and respectful approach to family law – especially when children are involved. Collaborative divorce, mediation, and negotiated parenting plans allow both parties to maintain control over the outcome, rather than leaving those life-changing decisions to the court. Benefits of Mediation and Collaborative Resolution:- Greater control over the outcome
- Reduced emotional and financial cost
- Privacy outside of the courtroom
- Customized parenting plans and asset division
Prepared for Peace. Ready for Battle.
“It is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war”. I will always pursue fair resolution first – but when litigation becomes necessary, I am fully prepared to fight for your rights in court. I handle contested family law cases involving:- Child custody and residential schedules
- Spousal maintenance (alimony)
- Division of assets such as real estate, retirement accounts, and businesses
- Relocation and modification of existing orders
- Domestic conflict and false allegations
- Protection orders within family law proceedings
- A military parent or spouse
- Relocation
Child Custody and Parenting Plans
In Washington, the court’s priority is the best interests of the child. Mine is too. Whether you are seeking just residential time, or defending against unfair restrictions, I work to protect both your parental rights and your child’s stability. Parenting plans should reflect reality, not assumptions. I fight for arrangements that are fair, practical, and centered on both the parent and child’s long-term well-being.Family Law Services I Provide
