Divorce Sucks. But It Doesn’t Have to Destroy You.

Divorce is hard, there’s no sugarcoating it. It can feel like your entire world is falling apart while you’re expected to make huge decisions about your finances, your children, and your future. You’re overwhelmed, angry, and unsure of what comes next.

I help people move from that place of fear and confusion to one of clarity, confidence, and control.

Because here’s the truth: divorce isn’t just about splitting assets or signing paperwork. It’s about protecting your peace, your kids, and your long-term future. It’s about making smart, informed decisions at a time when you may feel emotionally exhausted and uncertain.

Most people don’t realize they have options. That they don’t have to give up everything or go to war just to get through it. And most importantly, they don’t realize that they can come out the other side feeling good. Yes, good. Empowered. Free. Even excited about what’s next.

That’s where I come in.

You don’t need a “shark” attorney who promises to destroy your ex and burn everything down in the process. You need a strategist. Someone who listens. Someone who sees the full board and plans five moves ahead. Someone who knows when to fight and when to negotiate for a better, smarter outcome.

Divorce is personal. Your lawyer should treat it that way. I believe in giving clients honest advice, clear direction, and powerful advocacy without fueling unnecessary conflict. I’m here to make sure you don’t just survive this process, but that you move forward with your head high and your future intact.

So if you’re feeling lost or stuck, just know: you’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

If you’re ready to turn the page, I’ve got you. With smart strategy, grounded support, and a legal game plan built around your goals, not anyone else’s drama.

Let’s get to work.
Let’s move forward.
Let’s rebuild stronger than before.

Gray Divorce and Retirement: What the Allianz Study Means for Your Future

A new study by Allianz Life shows that one in three Americans aged 61-75 who have been divorced say it negatively affected their retirement security. And the trend of gray divorce (divorcing later in life) is only growing.
The study highlights a growing concern in family law and financial planning: the impact of divorce on retirement security. As more Americans over age 60 choose to end their marriages, the long-term consequences are becoming harder to ignore.
Keep reading for my four key findings from the study:
