Our Process
fair & equitable
I will personally walk you both through a fair and equitable divorce. You will not be passed off to someone else’s care. I have no hidden fees, and no surprises. For complex cases, my Certified Divorce Financial Analyst and Paralegal is also here to help.
I will facilitate a high road / big picture approach. Your best interests and those of your children are my main concern.
advocacy & privacy
I personally take responsibility and accountability for the whole process. We can often wrap up the whole process in a few weeks’ time, saving an average of 2 years of litigation.
In litigation, your hearing and records of that hearing are open to the public. DMCoSD will keep your financial information, discussions, and decisions confidential.
affordable
I will save you thousands of dollars in litigation fees. I will keep you out of court and away from Judges orders and being at the mercy of someone else’s decisions. Instead of blind justice, the two of you will receive justice with your eyes wide open.
fees
Often as little as $3,500.00 total

During college I opened and ran A-1 Legal and Paralegal Services to put myself through college. I also opened a drop-in counseling center at UC Santa Cruz called “Connections” - run by the students, for the students - that remained open for several years. I graduated top of my class from Sonoma State University in 1976 with a Masters in Clinical/Community Psychology. I also received my elementary & secondary teaching credentials, and was an adult education provider for 10 years. I received my Marriage Family and Child Counseling license in February of 1976.
