"You Never Know a Woman Until You Meet Her In Court"

Zealous Advocacy for Maryland and Washington D.C.

Family Law • Personal Injury • Criminal Defense

Years ago, I found a sign at a craft fair that read, "You never know a woman until you meet her in court!" The sign now hangs in my office, and it reflects my longstanding commitment to protecting my client's rights and best interests.

I truly care about the clients I work with, and I am committed to building a strong relationship with each of them. In my office, I take an understanding and helpful approach with my clients. As a skilled negotiator, I work hard to reach a just and fair settlement. In the courtroom, I am an aggressive litigator and zealous advocate.

Comprehensive Legal Support

At my firm, providing clients with strong counsel means more than just giving competent legal advice. To offer my clients the best service I can, my practice is structured on these main principles:

• Experience: I have been practicing law since 1985. With almost 25 years of legal experience, I have handled numerous cases in a variety of practice areas. I know how to resolve a legal problem effectively and efficiently, knowing when to negotiate and when to fight.
• Perspective: Unlike some lawyers who are limited by only understanding one narrow area of law, I have a broad perspective. As a general practice attorney, I can skillfully analyze and confidently handle the interrelated issues that often arise in a case, whether in family law, criminal law or personal injury matter. With my comprehensive understanding of multiple practice areas, I can determine the best angle to approach your problems.
• Zealous commitment: My focus is always on helping clients reach their legal goals. Unlike firms that are primarily motivated by maximizing their legal fees, my drive is toward working hard for my clients until we have arrived at a successful resolution.
• Personal attention: As a solo practitioner, I will personally handle every aspect of your case myself, from beginning to end. Your will never be passed off to someone else, and I will keep you regularly informed of the status of your case.
