- What makes me different: I’m very knowledgeable when it comes to dividing real estate and retirement plans, and what to do with nonmarital property--assets that were originally (or were derived from) assets owned before the marriage, inherited by one spouse, given to one spouse, or received from a personal injury settlement. I have taught other attorneys at seminars about property and debt. My practice is very personal–you will be dealing only with me and not with paralegals or secretaries. I will quote you a flat rate for a divorce with no conflict. Unlike many attorneys, I will discuss your situation over the phone, and without charge. Looking for a Financial Early Neutral Evaluator aka FENE? I am a good choice if you want to schedule soon. My practice is low-key, and I am not overbooked. My approach is a little less formal than some. I usually don't require payment in advance or make you sign a long contract. These meetings are expensive, so I try hard to achieve a settlement in one session.
