person's life. During this time, it is very important to have guidance
so that you avoid letting your emotions overrule your better judgment
and lead you to make bad choices.

experienced divorce and family law attorney serving clients through
Southwest Missouri. My focus is on helping you make the right decisions
for yourself and your children during this difficult time. By doing so, I
can protect your interests and help you make a successful transition to

A Personalized Approach to Divorce
My firm realizes that every marriage and every
family is unique. Because of this, every family law matter requires an
individualized approach that reflects the needs of the client and the
client's children. I take time to understand your needs and the unique
aspects of your situation. Then I craft a legal strategy designed to
achieve your particular goals. I have significant experience in complex
marital property division matters and can provide assertive
representation designed to obtain an outcome that is both fair and
practical.
My firm can also draft and review divorce documents
for individuals wishing to file for divorce without representation by
an attorney. I can help you avoid the mistakes often made by people
attempting to accomplish this on their own.

it involves a non-contested divorce, a child support or custody
modification, a restraining order, or any other dispute arising out of
divorce, my firm will work to achieve a just outcome, so that you can
move forward in life in the most positive manner possible.

Uncontested Divorce
Uncontested
divorces can cost as little as $450, plus the filing fee that is
currently $127. Uncontested cases are cases where parties have reached
an agreement regarding division of property and debts, and custody of
the children.
