Enpowering clients and helping them achieve a fair, private settlement with reduced conflict and cost has been my passion for over 30 years. Our firm limits our practice to family law and commits to place the needs of our clients' families first. We are all trained mediators and collaborative practitioners. We practice principally in Washtenaw, Livingston and Lenawee counties of Michigan.
