OUR matrimonial practice is dedicated to clients whose first priority is to begin a healthy, wholesome and joyful life as soon as possible.

We will help you set goals that we will accomplish together and we will see you through them. The goals are yours to set, we only facilitate you reaching them.

Coaches and therapists will be available to you, if you believe that their service will be valuable to you.

Here is an exercise that will help you decide if our divorce practice will be of benefit to you. If you agree with any seven or more of these statements, we will, in all likelihood be of great service to you.


•  I have no need to get even with my spouse.

•  I am optimistic about my prospects after my divorce.

•  The universe holds an infinite source of abundance.

•  My biggest priority is to begin a healthy, wholesome and joyful life ASAP.

•  The law provides for a fair and equitable resolution of most divorce cases.

•  If emotional counseling is suggested to me, I will give it serious consideration.

•  I will only hire attorneys in whose ability I have complete faith.

•  I understand the importance of forgiveness and of beginning anew.

•  My spouse and I will collaborate with each other in order to resolve our differences.

•  My case will probably settle before it goes to a judge or a jury.

•  I am ready to exchange fear and anxiety for freedom and fulfillment.

•  I will benefit if I am coached through the emotional issues of separation and divorce.

•  My spouse is not a bad person; we just don’t get along.
