Why Family Law?
From a very early age, I knew I wanted to be a lawyer. Over time, my natural talents reinforced this desire and law school was a simple choice. However, selecting the type of law I wanted to practice was much more difficult. Having experience in the intensive care unit of a hospital and the special education department of a high school, I worked extensively with families at difficult and sensitive times, and know that a dedicated advocate can be crucial at trying moments. I knew I wanted to continue to have that kind of positive impact on people’s lives, but couldn’t find the niche that would allow me to use my personal and litigation skills in a way that would make that difference. After taking my first family law class, I knew I had found my place.
Why Nottage and Ward?
Before coming to Nottage & Ward, I knew that this was the firm I wanted to join. Their reputation is one of dedication to excellence, and is attested to by clients, colleagues, and judges alike. After spending time here, I realized that this firm has earned that reputation through commitment to every client, serving each as though there were no others. Nottage & Ward handles each step of the process from the negotiating table to the courtroom with only the highest standards for preparation and presentation. By choosing Nottage & Ward, you can be confident that the focus will be on finding the best outcome for your family.
What can the client expect when they work with you?
Clients can expect a highly organized and committed advocate. I make sure that my clients are consulted, informed, and involved in each step of this process. My passion for family law means that clients receive both my sensitive attention in the office, and unwavering advocacy in the courtroom. The field of family law can be a highly emotional and difficult road to travel. I believe that the guidance of Nottage & Ward will ensure that you always remember that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and with our help, you will arrive at that place sooner rather than later.
