She enjoys working with clients from all walks of life.

In addition to working with clients as their attorney, Virginia also offers mediation services as part of her practice.

Virginia is experienced in a variety of complex family situations. She works with clients across a variety of processes, ranging from litigation to mediation and Collaborative Divorce. She notes, “Having experience and knowledge about many different options allows me to help clients evaluate what approach is best for them.”
