Are you facing an unending nightmare of a nonresponsive parent, never-ending litigation because the other side refuses to cooperate, engage or respond?

I get them to the table. I get them to respond.

Do you need a Domestic Violence Protective Order?

I have been handling complicated Domestic Violence Restraining Orders for over four years. I use my courtroom experience and personal understanding of domestic violence to help you get the protection you need.  Sometimes that means getting you a protective order, sometimes that means defending you against one.

I understand domestic violence. I understand the issues that survivors face as they try to obtain a restraining order because I have been there. I understand how hard it is to break the cycle of abuse, and how hard it is to leave.

Is your co-parent trying to use your child like a pawn in a big game you don’t understand?

You need a fierce, experienced advocate to protect you, and I help you tell the story the court needs to hear to keep you and your child safe.

This is what we do.

I take the time to understand your goals and work with you to put together a strategy to get a reasonable outcome. Sometimes getting you what you need means going to court, but often it means negotiating a fair deal outside of court. I understand that even though I love to litigate, no client ever wants to be in court.

I will help you close this chapter of your life and move on to a brighter future.

When I’m not in court, I’m a board member for the Women Lawyers of Alameda County. During my spare time, I love to cook and play with my French bulldog.
