Carla understands the value of communication and strives to constantly keep clients informed of the status of their cases. Though she has handled divorce trials as well as family law appeals, she prefers using mediation and the collaborative approach when possible to help clients amicably resolve family law matters. She helps parties consider the needs of their families as a whole, so that they do not walk away from a divorce or other family law dispute as enemies. This is especially important when children are involved.
Carla knows from experience that writing is a significant part of a family law practice. The court's decisions are based to a considerable degree on the effectiveness of written documents submitted by counsel. The success of negotiations can often depend on the ability to craft persuasive letters to opposing counsel.
An English major in college, Carla chose the legal profession in part because it allows her to write on a daily basis. She brings a passion for writing to her practice and thrives on drafting effective written communications that help clients accomplish their family law objectives.
