A Personal Note from Mary Kate

“My experience is unique and I have not followed the “typical" career path of many colleagues. After graduating from law school, I made a quality of life decision to not sit for the bar exam in order to be available for my special needs daughter. The decision made me a better person and better equipped to serve my clients today. I am passionate about preserving the rights of my clients. I can promise that I will fight hard for you and advocate for your best interests.

I am committed to providing my clients as well as family law attorneys with accurate and effective financial analysis."
