Compassionate, clear-eyed legal guidance for families in transition — serving the Portland and the Pacific Northwest with dedication.

For over three decades, I've been honored to serve families across the Pacific Northwest. My practice is built on a simple belief: every family deserves compassionate, clear-eyed legal guidance — especially during life's most challenging chapters.
Whether you're navigating divorce, protecting your children's future, or seeking a fresh financial start through bankruptcy, I bring the patience, preparation, and dedication that these moments demand.
