I am honored to have been recognized by Super Lawyers.

Recognition like this is meaningful, and it is also not the point. The point is the families who walked into my office on the worst week of their lives and walked out with a plan. The custody matters. The protective orders. The divorces. The clients who trusted me with the things that mattered most to them.

Thank you for trusting me with your families.

Three things we see over and over. All of them start as reasonable choices between two people trying to keep the peace.

✔️ Changing the schedule by text and never filing it. You both agreed. It worked for a year. Then it stops working, and the only thing a judge can enforce is the order that is on file.

✔️ Using your child to pass messages. It feels easier than talking to your ex. Your child absorbs every bit of it, and courts notice.

✔️ Assuming a verbal agreement is enough. Until the day one person remembers it differently, and there is nothing to point to.

None of these come from bad intentions. They come from wanting less conflict, which is understandable. The problem is that the informal version only holds while both people still agree.

If what you are actually doing looks nothing like what your order says, close that gap now rather than in a courtroom.

Most people know they should do this. Very few get around to it.

Not because they do not care, but because there is always something more urgent. The week fills up. The paperwork feels like it can wait one more month. And then another month goes by.

This couple stopped putting it off. They came in, sat down, asked their questions, and left with something in place for the people they love.

That is the whole thing. It does not require a crisis or a perfect moment. It just requires deciding that this is the week.

If it has been sitting on your list for a while, our office is here.

🎉 Team Member of the Month for August 🎉

Congratulations to Abigail on being recognized as our Team Member of the Month!

For a lot of our clients, Abigail is the first friendly voice they hear. She is the one who answers when they are nervous, keeps them updated when the waiting feels long, and makes sure nobody ever feels like just another file. That kind of care is not easy, and she does it every single day.

This team is better because of you, Abigail. This award is our way of saying it out loud.

👏 Join us in congratulating Abigail in the comments.

It happens every September.

The order that looked fine in June starts showing its gaps, and two of them show up at once.

The calendar. Pickup is at 3:15 and your exchange time says 6:00. Practice runs three nights a week. And there is a half day in October that nobody anticipated.
The decisions. A permission slip comes home that needs to be signed by Friday. The school is asking for consent to something. Someone has to choose the after care program.

One deals with where your child will be. The other decides who gets to say yes. Two separate sections of your order, and they do not need to agree.

Parents learn that lesson every September, usually the hard way.

If the last few weeks have shown you a gap, look at it now instead of in January.

September is Su***de Prevention Month.

We work with families in the middle of divorce, custody disputes, and protective order cases. We see what that kind of pressure does to people. The isolation. The exhaustion. The feeling that things will not get better.
So this month we want to say something outside our usual lane.

If you are worried about someone, ask them directly. Then stay quiet long enough to hear the answer. Most people are waiting for someone to notice.

Not everyone who is struggling needs a professional right away. Sometimes they just need someone to talk to. Be that person if you can, and help them find more if you cannot.

It is not a comfortable question. Most parents push it away the first time it comes up.

But it does have an answer, whether or not you are the one who gives it. If something happens to you and you have not named anyone, a court steps in and decides based on what it can see from the outside. Not what you would have wanted. Not the person you had in mind. What the record supports.

Naming a guardian is a formal designation, not a conversation you have once and hope everyone remembers. It goes in writing, in the documents that hold up when they need to.

You have already thought about who it would be. You have just never written it down.

Somebody decides. It may as well be you.

Happy Love Litigating Lawyers Day. 🧡

It is a day for the advocates who show up in the courtroom and do not back down. But really, it is a day about the people they serve.

Nobody wants to end up in court. When you do, you want someone in your corner who knows exactly what they are doing and will not stop fighting for you.

That is the work. And we are proud to do it.
