As a Principal Attorney at Berger Schatz family law firm, I provide clients with well-studied expertise and representation knowing that the winning solution for our clients lies in conscious restraint. I bring a keen understanding of what is inside and outside my clients’ control within the divorce process, capitalizing on opportunities for them and adapting to the nuances that emerge as cases progress.I approach each case with compassion and a strategy derived from a deep understanding of my clients’ needs. The winning solution for my clients lies in conscious restraint, with the goal of negotiating an advantageous settlement.

This gets my clients better results. I have successfully represented clients in trials and appeals on a wide range of issues, from valuation and distribution of assets to child custody and visitation matters, always done with attentiveness to my client’s needs.I’m an active participant in the local and national legal community, and I speak frequently before legal and professional associations and to law students on issues relating to matrimonial and family law.
