Q: How do you approach cases with a significant emotional or psychological component?
A: Such cases are at the heart of family law, and with a degree in behavioral psychology and experience in therapeutic settings before becoming a lawyer, I am uniquely equipped to handle them. Over my 25-plus years of legal practice, I’ve managed many emotionally charged cases, often complicated by various psychological factors and competing interests. My approach is to thoroughly understand the family dynamics from the outset, using this insight to craft a strategic plan for both settlement and trial. I believe successful negotiations come from preparation and strength, so I always prepare for trial while striving to negotiate a peaceful resolution, ensuring the best possible outcome for my clients.
