(Reposted from my LinkedIn Blog): Certainly “divorce law” is not the most comfortable dinner conversation topic when out with friends. Often when the discussion turns to “How’s work?” or “Tell us about what you do”, there’s an uncomfortable pause when I explain that I am a family lawyer. I often get looks wondering if that […]
I just read an article about China now having 10,000 divorces per day (click for the article). That number astounds me.

I have the honor of being the Co-Chair of the referenced CLE (continuing Legal Education program) scheduled for September 14, 2012 (8:30am-Noon) at the State Bar of Georgia Headquarters. Stewards of Children Training is a revolutionary, child sexual abuse prevention training program.
