I practiced law as a litigator for 25 years. I know this picture does not look like someone that went to court almost every day. I guess that is why I'm self-described as The Unlikely Lawyer.

I retired and closed my office in 2018. I really thought I could just retire and not look back. I tried to do that until March, 2020 -- and then my world started changing.

I decided that the world needed my message and expertise on divorce, co-parenting, and how to avoid court. This was the beginning of my book, Common Sense Divorce: Ten Ways to Save You Time, Money, and Worry." This endeavor took most of 2020 and was followed by the development of an online course, articles, blogging, and now speaking for more name recognition to help promote all of these things.

As I continue to write about all things divorce and co-parenting, I hope you, the readers, will get value and information about these subjects.
