I have to get things right or as right as they can be. If it means I have to stay up all night, especially for trials, then that is what I will do to get it right. That’s how I am. I have to make sure that when I go into court I am completely prepared. I expect that of myself. My communications skills are another strong point.
In this area of family law, you have to have excellent communication with your clients. That is so important. They are going through such a difficult time and as attorneys we really are counselors to people at a truly vulnerable time in their lives. I have been through the divorce process myself so I can relate to what people are feeling.
I can attest that you can get past the anger and the hurt and try to become friends again with your ex-spouse. The goal is to try and co-parent the best you can because it is so beneficial to the children. It takes time but the children can get through it, too. I know because I have seen it with my three children.
I definitely love being in the courtroom. If I could do that every day, I would be happy. In the last three years, I have been the sole or lead counsel in more than twenty final hearings in marital and family law cases in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Manatee counties. I also really enjoy the procedural side of things; that things need to be properly noticed for due process rights.
I am a stickler for ensuring everything is done correctly the first time.
