Divorce

Family Law
As a Certified Child Representative and Trained Mediator, I have provided my Family Law clients with experienced, strong representation for the last 22 years. 90% of my cases are settled through mediation because I strongly believe that the long-term benefits of mediation far outweigh the immediate satisfaction of winning in court. If you are going through a divorce, I will help you reach an agreement with your spouse, and weigh and balance the property and custodial issues. I will help you reach an agreement that is a win-win situation for all parties involved.

My Family Law practice involves all issues related to divorce including custody, child support, custody and support modification, mediation, paternity suits and visitation.

General Practice

Mediation

Personal Injury
Our PI cases typically involve someone who is injured while receiving medical care or nursing home care, suffering nursing home neglect, in a car accident or other accident, or injured by a slip and fall commonly occurring at supermarkets and restaurants due to food on the floor.

As a skilled and aggressive Personal Injury attorney and litigator, I will tell you what you can expect, what losses can be reimbursed by the individual(s) who hurt you, and analyze and evaluate the damage claims. You can be assured that I will advise you each and every step of the way.

I make every effort to settle your case and keep it from going to court. I file suit only if an equitable settlement cannot be reached.

Probate

Trusts and Estates
Much of my estate law practice relates to protecting the assets as well as the privacy of my clients. If you have a will, it gets filed in court and becomes a public document. On the other hand, I can help you write up a trust that is very private, and is never filed in court. This results in more privacy for your family and heirs, and creates a document that is more difficult to be disputed in public. Proper planning is key to not only protecting your assets and preserving maximum wealth for your beneficiaries, but also to keeping your financial affairs private. Call my law office today at 618-372-4111. I have a customized plan in mind for you that is tailored to your individual needs.
