Why I Became a Family Law Attorney
I knew from the moment I decided to become a lawyer that I wanted to do something to help children and families. After working with the Durham County Department of Social Services in the abuse, neglect, and dependency courtroom, my desire to provide competent and compassionate legal services to those in need was solidified. As a full-time family law practitioner, I aim to provide empathetic but sound advice to clients with the goal of keeping familial relationships as intact as possible during difficult times. It is my prerogative to ensure that the legal process is made as smooth as possible for all involved, especially children.
I help my clients in whatever way their case demands, whether it is through alternative dispute resolution or traditional litigation. Out-of-court negotiation and settlement is the frequently the most peaceful way to resolve a case; however, I recognize that such resolution is not possible in every situation. Though I tend to promote reasonable and rational results, I always advocate zealously for my clients in court. My guiding principle is that each client is the captain of their own ship. My role is to simply to help them steer that ship and give them the knowledge to make informed decisions along the way.
