My journey began years ago, when my ex left me with a young child, starting over in a different country with little and no family around. I faced immense challenges, including at first lack of spousal and child support, yet I remained fiercely determined. It took me a long time to find the right lawyer to protect both my son's and my rights. Initially, the lawyers let me down with unanswered calls and unexplained delays. My strength, resilience, and ability to survive against the odds left an indelible mark on me.
This motivated me to become one of the best family lawyers ever because I have a first-hand knowledge of what is at stake. Through my personal and professional experience, I strive to give my clients sophisticated financial knowledge to level the playing field, and a commitment to being there for them, offering my personal number to ensure they have access when they need it most.
