Where do you get inspiration?

My parents. Both from the “Greatest Generation” and with military service in two wars taught these lessons by example: work hard, be a good friend, travel the world, take risks, and help others less fortunate.

What makes you successful?

I believe you don’t wait for opportunity, but create it. Focus on goals rather than obstacles. These traits are instrumental in my practice where I represent clients with complex marital estates that sometimes need creative solutions to negotiate a settlement that will be equitable and realistic.

What makes you most proud?

First and foremost being the mother of my children, Jack and Olivia, who are the greatest gift of my life. But, also having the trust of my clients who are going through the most difficult time of their life and being able to help them successfully make that transition.
