Valerie has been on my divorce journey with me for almost 2 years. Her expertise and guidance has been nothing short of an investment for my future. If you need a lawyer who can provide personalized service (with boundaries) through an anticipated "difficult" divorce, then I highly recommend Valerie and her office support Donna. The outcome in my case was better than expected. Thank you Valerie and Donna!
