An Experienced, Caring And Award-Winning Divorce Attorney Serving Hamilton County And Central Indiana
A Compassionate Divorce Lawyer And Registered Domestic Relations Mediator
I provide a wealth of resources and confidence to handle your situation no matter the legal difficulty. Whether faced with complex assets, custody or parenting time, I am a skilled litigator, arriving to court well-prepared on the issues and the law. However, I also thrive as a mediator because I believe amicable resolution without litigation is the most pragmatic and cost-effective way to resolve family law issues. Raised in a family of hands-on business owners, it is in my nature to “fix things” through practical and sometimes creative solutions.
Recognized By Elite Lawyer As A Top Divorce Lawyer In Indiana
Elite Lawyer is a directory service that recognizes attorneys at the top of their field. To qualify for an Elite Lawyer award, you must first be nominated by a peer in the legal community or a member of the Elite Lawyer Advisory Panel. This begins an extensive evaluation process that reviews professional achievements, years in practice, settlements and verdicts. The review panel also considers special licensing, credentials and certifications as well as honors and awards.
Elite Lawyer limits the number of attorneys in their directory, and only a small percentage of attorneys who enter the evaluation process receive the Elite Lawyer designation.
Frequently Asked Questions
About Filing For Divorce
After two decades in family law, I have identified questions that I hear from almost every first-time caller considering divorce. While I offer a free 15-minute initial phone consultation, we can better focus on your unique situation if you already have answers to these questions.
I make sure my clients know what to expect from the outset and take pride in helping them understand how the divorce process works.
Do I Really Need A Lawyer?
Absolutely. Any individual or business facing a legal issue should, in good judgment, retain counsel. Even seemingly “simple” disputes include a number of pitfalls and complications that are ignored, overlooked or unknown to unrepresented parties.
Retaining does not invite heightened conflict. A lawyer ensures that you have candid and seasoned advice, including options for amicable resolution that focuses on only your best interests.
One attorney cannot represent two parties with conflicting interests. At NAP Name, I strongly encourage individuals and businesses to have independent representation in any legal matter, including in amicable situations.
