Justice is not a privilege.

In family law, many people are forced to represent themselves. I built this practice to change that.

High-quality legal representation should not be reserved for those with deep pockets — especially in matters as life-changing as divorce, custody, and support. If your family law matter is important to you, we can figure out a way to make the finances work.

I want to make sure all people can access high-quality legal services — including those who cannot afford traditional billing arrangements. Hence the slogan: “A Harvard-educated family law attorney for everyone.”

To make that real, the firm offers a free initial consultation, payment plans, and limited-scope representation: I divide the work between myself and the client to achieve the best outcome in the most cost-efficient manner.

The longer view.

In addition to my law degree from Harvard, I hold a master's degree in computer science, with a specialization in machine learning, from Georgia Tech. By combining these two disciplines, I'm working to develop AI-driven software that pursues two goals:

  1. 01
    Enable people to represent themselves as much as possible — with attorney review when necessary. World-class legal work, at an accessible price.
  2. 02
    Automate as much routine work as possible for lawyers, so that representation, when needed, is faster and less expensive.

Seeing injustice in the law due to lack of resources is what got me into this work. My vision is a future where excellent representation is not a privilege of the wealthy but a right that ordinary people can actually exercise.

Together, we can make this vision a reality.
