Divorce is hard, especially when the future feels uncertain and emotions are running high. Many people come into this process wanting to move forward without destroying relationships that will continue long after the divorce is over. That is where an amicable approach can make a meaningful difference.

With more than 30 years of family law experience, I focus on helping individuals resolve divorce with dignity, structure, and as little conflict as possible. The goal is not simply to get divorced, but to do so in a way that allows you to continue showing up as your best self at the moments that still matter, whether that is a child’s graduation, a wedding, a family gathering, or simply co-parenting day to day without ongoing tension.

If children are involved, a child-centered approach is essential. Divorce does not end a family, it reshapes it. When parents are able to work through the process thoughtfully and cooperatively, children are spared much of the stress and instability that often accompanies high-conflict litigation. An amicable process creates space for better communication, clearer expectations, and healthier long-term outcomes for everyone involved.

I have been divorced myself, and I understand how disorienting this time can feel. When everything seems out of your control, having a clear plan and steady guidance can restore a sense of balance. An amicable divorce is not the right fit for every situation, but for those who are open to it, it can offer a path forward that is more efficient, more respectful, and far less damaging than traditional litigation.

If you are exploring whether an amicable divorce may be right for you, I welcome the opportunity to talk with you about the process and how my experience in negotiation and family law can help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.

When your family, finances, and future are on the line, you need a lawyer who takes your case as seriously as you do. Life keeps moving, even on evenings and weekends, and legal guidance needs to be accessible when questions and concerns arise.

With more than thirty years of family law experience, I help individuals navigate divorce with clear strategy, careful planning, and a steady focus on achieving meaningful results. I serve clients throughout Forsyth County, Cherokee County, North Fulton, Hall County, and Dawson County, offering virtual, in-person, and phone consultations to meet clients where they are. Flexibility and responsiveness are essential, especially during a time of transition.

Every representation begins with a strategy session. This is an opportunity for you to be heard, to share your story, and to gain a clearer understanding of how Georgia divorce law applies to your specific circumstances. Together, we identify priorities, assess options, and map out a plan designed to protect what matters most as you move forward.

I am a Certified Amicable Divorce Professional and a member of the inaugural class. I also focus my practice on serving the LGBTQIA plus community, with an understanding of the unique legal, emotional, and family dynamics that may be involved. Whether your case is agreed upon or contested, my goal is to provide thoughtful, informed representation that reduces unnecessary conflict while preserving your rights and long term interests.
