Why do I practice family law? I didn’t start out as a divorce lawyer. When I graduated from law school in New Jersey in 1992, and my first child entering kindergarten, I wanted to work on sophisticated legal issues. I got hired at a large prestigious firm worked for large companies with complicated legal problems. It was heady stuff.
Next, my interest in social policy landed me at the New Jersey State legislature, researching the law, drafting legislation, and advising lawmakers on what they could (and couldn’t) do.
In 2001 my family moved from NJ to Western Massachusetts. Then 9/11 happened. My husband and I knew people who died in the twin towers.
