Selecting a family law attorney in Maine is about more than the legal result—it is also about the experience of navigating the process. While Maine law provides the framework for equitable property division and child-focused parenting plans, an attorney’s strategy and approach can significantly affect the time, cost, and emotional strain involved, as well as the parties’ ability to maintain a workable relationship going forward - particularly when children are involved.

As a Maine native, I bring a thoughtful, values-driven approach to family law. With a background in complex financial and commercial litigation, including public and private investments, I offer family-centered, financially informed guidance in divorce and parental rights matters—particularly where complex assets are involved—always with an eye toward long-term stability and the well-being of children.

I prioritize quality over quantity, focusing on efficient and effective resolution. By intentionally limiting the number of matters I accept, I am able to provide strategic guidance, responsive communication, and careful attention to each client’s unique circumstances. My practice is grounded in persuasive oral and written advocacy, with an emphasis on durable, long-term outcomes rather than unnecessary conflict.

I focus my practice exclusively on family law because of the deeply personal and lasting impact this work has on people’s lives. I approach matters involving children with a clear understanding of how legal decisions shape everyday family life, and I am committed to helping Maine individuals and families navigate major transitions with clarity, stability, and confidence.
