I am a solo practitioner, mostly retired, with 30 years experience in areas including, but not necessarily limited to divorce, adoption, restraining orders, personal injury, criminal law, juvenile law, landlord-tenant law and more. Thank you for your interest, but I am not accepting new private clients now or for the foreseeable future. If anything changes, this page will change.

CONTACT TIPS:
Although designed with me in mind, these are generally applicable to all initial contact with an attorney.
1. If you call and get voice mail, leave a brief message. Calls from unknown numbers are not returned.
2. If you leave a message or send a message by text or email, do not disclose confidential information. Leave your full name, contact information, and a very general description of your problem (such as "I need help with a divorce." "I have a problem with a contract." "My tenant is not paying rent." "My landlord is trying to evict me."). If your type of case is of interest to the attorney, you will get a return call.
3. If you send a text or email, do not include documents. Wait until requested.
4. You should try contacting other attorneys while waiting for a response. Delay can be prejudicial to your interests.
