About

My practice includes a mixture of family law and civil litigation cases.  In the family law arena, I have experience with divorce, allocation of parental responsibilities, paternity and relinquishment and adoption issues.  In the civil litigation arena, I focus primarily on contract disputes, including the protection of contract rights of creditors in bankruptcy proceedings.  I have experience in probate and in estate planning for small estates which do not require federal tax planning.Outside of the office, I enjoy hiking, snowshoeing and traveling.  These adventures have taken me to Vietnam and Cambodia and to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.  I have also been to all 50 of the United States.

I went through two attorneys before finding Ian. I have a complex, multi-state case with a difficult ex and a child with special needs. Ian has taken the utmost care to do what’s best for my children and my family, and he’s inherently practical and ethical. I wish I had found him sooner- I think he makes a positive difference in many families’ lives.

Ian took great care of me during one of the most stressful times of my life. I was working to gain more parenting time with my daughter and Ian was there to answer all of my questions and work with me to develop a case. Needless to say, with a significant amount of expertise in my corner, I was able to gain more parenting time. I find Ian to be honest and up front which I need from time-to-time. I am glad that I chose Ian for my legal counsel.

Ian is an extremely talented lawyer who has a solid knowledge base and practices with the highest standards in regard to moral and ethical dilemmas. He is very honest when it comes to the "reality" of a case and will not lead you down the wrong path. He is quick to communicate when things are moving fast and can really break things down into lay person terms to help you understand everything that is going on. Ian was able to litigate a contempt charge against my ex-husband, without difficulty, and also able to mediate a parenting plan that gave me everything I wanted and more. I would recommend, and have recommended, him to many people I know who are going through similar situations.

I find everything to do with custody issues completely overwhelming and stressful. Ian helped from the beginning. He was thorough, and kind, honest and forthright. He didn't always say things i wanted to hear but he always managed to say them in a way that made them seem so much more reasonable and understandable. I still am in shock and awe at how prepared he was for trial. He gave me opportunity to pick my battles and was always willing to take the time to explain possible outcomes. He made an extremely emotional experience so much more manageable. I am grateful for all he did for us.
