I have over 30 years of legal experience handling difficult family law cases in divorce, child support, child custody and visitation, modifications, educational law, and nontraditional family matters. I also work with individuals and families in all general legal matters.

I have served for eight years as the Regional Coordinator for the Children and Family Law Division of the Committee for Public Counsel Services. I am a graduate of Clark University and Boston College Law School, where I won the Client Counseling competition. I started my legal practice as an Assistant District Attorney in Essex County. I have been practicing general law since 1982. I am an adoptive parent, and offer a wealth of experience in dealing with the adoption process. Children and Families are a major focus of my legal work.
