I have been so fortunate to have been able to serve as Chair of the Family Law Section of the American Bar Association for the 2011-2012 term. I cannot believe the year is drawing to a close. To have been allowed to lead this section, has truly been an honor and the highlight of my […]

There were over 700 attendees at what is known as NACVA and the IBA’s Annual Consultants’ Conference. On the first day I presented on hot topics in family law. But it is […]
So this entry has little to do with Family Law, and more to do with how this Family Law Attorney enjoyed the Super Bowl. Last year, as a lifelong New Orleans’ Saints fan, I had the chance of a lifetime to watch my hometown team go to and win the Super Bowl. It was an […]
