A MESSAGE FROM GWEN
I enjoy being in a courtroom but use negotiation and mediation methods for clients to reach faster results when it is possible. During my years of practice, I spent 18 years working on commercial/business and construction litigation cases, which provide me a strong perspective in managing complex and basic property issues. I have also been on both sides of a divorce with children, as an attorney and as a client. Having been divorced while my two girls were young, I personally experienced many of the same life hurdles as my clients in working towards co-parenting children. My personal life experiences reminds me what it is to be in a family law client.
I believe in clear, direct communication with clients so my clients can make the best decisions for their futures. I want to educate you during your case so you can make the right decisions. A variety of emotional and stress elements accompany many family law cases. I want to lessen your concerns so you can focus on your life. If you want to meet with me, reach out by email or phone.
