“Divorce can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to be devastating. Allow me to introduce myself; I’m Andrea.

My mission is to guide my clients through the process of ending their marriages while preserving their families. I take the time to understand my clients, their concerns, and their aspirations for the future. I then assist them in creating an agreement that aligns with those objectives.

Divorce doesn’t necessarily entail enduring the emotional and financial turmoil commonly associated with it.

As a collaborative divorce attorney, I passionately represent my clients without fostering an adversarial atmosphere or exacerbating the intense emotions that often accompany divorce.

In my role as a mediator, I facilitate open communication between both parties—you and your spouse—helping you bridge your differences and reach an agreement that benefits both of you.

To determine the right approach to divorce for your unique situation, please read the information provided here or schedule a consultation.

Remember that divorce goes beyond dividing assets or reconciling financial statements; it’s about you and your future. The decisions you make during this process will have a lasting impact on you and your family. By understanding your options, you’ll be better equipped to make choices that allow you to move forward without regrets.

I’m here to explain the available options and support you in choosing the best path for you and your family. I eagerly await the opportunity to speak with you.
