Your Trusted California Divorce Consultant
As a California divorce consulting attorney with over three decades of experience, I bring a distinctive approach to family law that integrates extensive legal knowledge with mindfulness techniques. My practice offers virtual hourly consultations to guide clients through complex divorce proceedings, specializing in comprehensive strategy planning, property division, spousal support analysis, and mediation preparation. Collaborating with distinguished attorneys and judges across California, Hawaii, Singapore, and Mexico, I've developed a holistic methodology shaped by certifications in Applied Compassion Training from Stanford University and Mindfulness Mentor Training with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. Recognized in Entrepreneur.com, Time Magazine, and Main Street for pioneering online legal resources, I provide personalized guidance that respects clients' intelligence while addressing both legal complexities and emotional challenges.My commitment to empowering clients with self-compassion tools stems from my published work on integrating mindfulness into legal practice and my extensive trial experience in high-asset, high-conflict cases.
