If you’ve been Googling legal questions at midnight, this is for you.

I offer free consultations for people facing divorce, custody issues, injuries, consumer disputes, small business questions, and more — so you can get real answers from a real attorney.

Thinking like a lawyer doesn’t have to be only about rights and winning cases. Restorative legal practice asks a different question: How can we repair harm and restore relationships for everyone involved?

The legal profession often celebrates analytical skill and mastery of procedure. These are important, but they tell only part of the story. Clients come to lawyers in moments of disruption, fear, and uncertainty. We need to reshape our identity to embrace collaboration and healing.
